Hello. I am trying to reduce my reddit/hn binging. It's starting to affect my studies. But it's only when I am in my bedroom?

Now it gets better when I'm not in my bedroom, or my house. However it still takes over. For example: I go to the gym, come home, and change my clothes. There is a sudden urge to lay in bed and browse the internet. Sometimes it's not an urge for social media, but instead it's nostalgia for my ex.

I literally cannot use my desk in my bedroom for work, studying, etc. I want to change this so that I can actually get work done without having to go to a coffee shop everytime.

- I tried the Pomodoro method - I tried a siteblocking extension - After reading the NPR article on heroin addicts, I tried forcing myself to binge read only using my non-dominant hand.

Nothing seems to work for more than a few days. It's harder when I'm sleep deprived. Unfortunately, my schedule means that I don't always get a good nights sleep.

Are there any other suggestions?
