Simply decide that from today, you're in bed by ten, ten-thirty tops. No melting in front of the screen, no demolishing containers of snacks. And you rise every morning at five-thirty, fresh and vigorous after healthy sleep.
How many times have you tried that — and failed?
Doesn't that strike you as odd?
