For people working late at night, staying active is good, but when for no reason, they become night owls and sleeping early becomes a bane. According to Healthline, here are the top 5 steps to stop staying up late. 

Get some lights early

Getting light early in the day may help shift one's sleep cycle. If one does not have access to sunlight, one can invest in an artificial light source like a UV lamp or light box.

Avoid caffeine at bedtime

Avoiding caffeine at bedtime can have disruptive effects. One can try caffeine-free herbal teas as they promote sleepiness.

Avoid screen time

Another activity to avoid before bedtime is watching television or scrolling on your phone before bed. Complete darkness is optimal for sleep.

Physical exercise

Physical exercises may help improve sleep cycle and quality. Even taking a walk can improve sleep quality.

Reduce bedroom temperature

Last but not least, reducing room temperature and making it cooler helps regulate the sleep cycle.
