Hi,

I attend an ivy league university with a heavy workload. I'm majoring in psychology. I have difficulty winding down at night despite being tired. I know this may sound bizarre, but I'm way too curious about the world (people and society). This keeps me up at night because I don't give myself a chance to relax without my electronics. I'm constantly on my laptop/iPhone googling aspects of society such as diseases, disorders, behaviors etc. I understand that it's normal to be curious, but I'm letting this affect my life. I only get 4 hours of sleep per night because I'm on my phone. Also, Id rather do this than my homework. Sometimes I neglect assignments just so I can google meaningless things that probably no one else thinks about. My lack of sleep is affecting my cognitive ability and my grades. I try to justify it by saying "at least I'm not playing video games" or something along those lines. However I still need advice on how to change my habits. Why do I operate like this? None of my friends at school have this issue. Thanks in advance.
