The times when you just can't fall asleep and have to do something just to pass the time and end up getting up in the afternoon next day are the worst.

You mean going to bed the afternoon next day, right?

This happens to me often. Reading random books, setting up a dark, and cosy bedroom and ensuring no electronic devices can interrupt have helped somewhat

All that is needed is establishing a habit to sleep and wake up per your convenient schedule no matter it is a week day or weekend day

@jestdotty Well, that is something I should try because I am very prone to being bored!
