Ah, that puts the causal chain opposite mine - I stay up because I'm doing something, not vice-versa.

I used to be more like MatthewB, but now I'm more like RobinZ. I tend to stay up browsing the Internet, reading sci-fi, or designing board games.

The roommate idea has worked in the past, and I do use it for 'emergencies.' My roommates don't really take akrasia seriously, though; they figure if I want to stay up all night and regret it, then that's just fine.

Random ideas:

Set an alarm clock or two for the time you want to go to bed, so you don't "lose track of the time."

Find some program that automatically turns off your Internet access at a certain time each night.
