Is staying up late on the internet or watching TV worth it?

It's usually relaxing to watch Netflix streaming late at night (after midnight) or to just surf the internet, because it's completely quiet with no distractions.

The dilemma is that at some point you'll come to the realization that all this time spent watching TV shows, movies, or surfing the net really adds up to nothing. I'm a photographer and a writer, so if I want to be up late, I ought to be editing photos or writing something.

Where do all the hours of television go? They become hours, even days, of wasted time. Time that could have been spent sleeping or doing something creative. Time that could have gone towards making the next day more productive by getting up earlier.

The only way to really break the cycle is to recognize when you're getting into a cycle of staying up wasting time. Set limits and stick to them. "Nothing good happens after 2 a.m." The other most effective way to break the cycle is to have a set wake-up time. Don't allow yourself to get up after 10 am, even on weekends, if possible.
