I'm beeminding my bedtime (a Do Less goal pegged to averaging a 1am bedtime or earlier). This lets me go to sleep earlier, instead of waiting til I'm almost too exhausted to go to bed, I spend more time doing both what I enjoy and what is important (since I don't have infinite time), and it makes it socially easy to turn some things down that interfere with my Beeminder-enforced bedtime ("Sorry to cut out early, if I don't make it back soon, my Beeminder will fine me")

Tenuously related: I've been using a Fitbit Flex for the past month, and set it with alarms at midnight and 00:09, between which I should take some melatonin, clean my teeth and start reading something in bed that isn't too stimulating. I still have frequent lapses in sleep discipline, but have found a vibrating device on my wrist a much more visceral nudge than mindfulness alone.
