You are mentioning laying awake and falling asleep later than planned a lot. Do you have a bedtime routine? Nothing fancy, just some steps that you repeat every night. It helps to signal to your body that it's time to unwind and sleep.

On day 40 you also mentioned watching tv and youtube before sleeping. Screentime before sleep messes with your body chemistry (blue light from monitors, makes your body suppress melatonin. Melatonin regulates sleep-cycle.). So it would be best to avoid any screens about 30 min before sleeping. If that's not possible you can use software to filter out the blue light, like f.lux on PC or low blue light mode on android.
I try to do both. If I fail the cut-off time, the software still got my back

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot @MegaMan. All you have said I have used to planned to use. The issue for me seems to be when im derailed. So before day 40 not sure when I was following a set routine, using flux on laptop and blue light filter and twilight on my phone however then had an exam and that exam caused me to give up and derail my efforts. Its as if the stress of it got to me and I needed a break which set me back to my usual poor routine.

I need to get into the right routine again asap but I dunno why im unable to do it. 

And thank you for reading and following my journal as all help is appreciated bro!
