“I need to sleep for just 10 minutes.”
Before going to bed, I habitually pick up my smartphone while lying in bed. There is a lot to check, from articles on various incidents and accidents to celebrity gossip and social network service (SNS) updates from acquaintances. Oh my! I accidentally clicked on the shorts video. I have no choice but to respond to the invitation of a tempting algorithm prepared entirely for me. After all, 10 minutes is too short. Just 20 more minutes, 30 more minutes… . Before I knew it, my eyes had become cloudy. A ‘good night’s sleep’ is far away, and a tiring day is naturally booked for tomorrow.
Temptations that make you wonder whether to do something or not can come anytime and anywhere. After a meal, faced with the temptation of ‘sweet salty sweet salty’, my eyes are drawn to sweet drinks containing sugar. You can also see cakes topped with plenty of whipped cream. The temptation of chicken and ramen as a midnight snack on a hungry night is also fatal. There are countless cases of failure to quit drinking and smoking all around us. Why are all the habits that are not so good for the health of the body and mind so enjoyable?
Bad habits that you keep repeating even though you know they are bad are quite addictive because they give you instant gratification. Of course, it is also true that we cannot always live only doing beneficial and constructive actions. However, if you are dragged into a habit regardless of your will and suffer from side effects such as lack of sleep and weight gain, it is a different story. Is it a matter of weakness of will? Let’s take a look at how you can free yourself from the bad habits you want to break.
