After menstruation, when I'm in a bad mood, I tend to read novels and watch videos, and end up staying up late. After staying up late, my health deteriorates, which leads to a bad mood, and then I want to stay up late again.

Good day. I would like to extend a warm gesture of support and assistance from a distance. I am pleased to see that you have sought help.

I hope that my sharing can provide you with some support and assistance, and that you can also commend yourself for being aware of the impact of staying up late to read novels and watch videos during your period on your normal sleep and physical health, and for choosing to seek help here.

From your description, it can be seen that your tendency to stay up late to read novels and watch videos only occurs during your period. It would be beneficial to identify the underlying needs that drive this behavior. These needs may include a desire for care, consideration, companionship, protection, or love.

Once the underlying needs driving immature behavior are identified, individuals can become more accepting and understanding of their actions. This allows them to respond and satisfy those needs in a constructive manner.

For instance, it would be advisable to inform your close family members and close friends about your needs for care, consideration, companionship, and attention during your period.

Additionally, it is crucial to learn to treat oneself with the same consideration, care, and support one would expect from others. The way one cares for oneself when not feeling well will influence the way those around them treat them.

It is important to recognise that nobody can be there for you when you need them except yourself. As an adult, you must learn to care for and take care of yourself.

My name is Lily, the Q&A Museum's newest addition. I extend my warmest regards to you all.

Hello question owner.

Give a hug.

After my period, I get in a bad mood and stay up late. This makes me feel worse and I want to stay up late even more.

Vicious cycle. How do you stop staying up late?

"

You're smart. You stay up late because you're on your period. After your period, you don't feel good. Your hormones change. When you're in a bad mood, you play with your phone to feel better. But can playing with your phone really make you feel better?

Why do we play games on our phones?

The phone pushes things you like to fill your brain. This makes your brain tired and excited. It can't rest.

If we want to sleep well, we must not excite our brains too much. Playing with our phones to relax is not the answer.

To avoid staying up late, turn off your phone and put it away.

You can relax by going for a walk, soaking your feet, listening to music, or practicing calligraphy and writing in a diary.

That's all for now. I love you.

Hello! I really hope my answer can help you in some way.

It's true that when we're in a bad mood, it's harder to be strong and in control. As you said, it's easy to stay up late, and that can make us feel worse. It's a cycle we can break by being aware. When we're aware, we can see when we're repeating patterns and take the initiative to change them.

I really want to help you, so here's my advice:

When you find yourself staying up late, reading novels, or watching videos, try to stop and be kind to yourself. If you notice that you're repeating this pattern, remind yourself that this isn't a way to love yourself. It's consuming your precious time and energy. I want to be someone who truly loves and cares for myself.

I've found that when I'm having trouble sleeping because I stayed up too late, or I'm feeling uncomfortable because my body is adjusting to the lack of sleep, it helps to remind myself that this is the result of staying up late. If I want to avoid this feeling, I need to be aware of myself the next time I stay up late and stop this cycle.

In the evening, when I start to prepare to brush my phone, or after brushing for a while, I will begin to become a little aware. At this time, I will try to shout "stop" to myself, gently reminding myself that there is not much meaning in brushing my phone like this now. This is actually not loving myself, not being good to myself, I don't want to repeat the pain of the day, I don't want to consume myself anymore, I am a person who loves myself, so I will choose to rest well now...

When we're aware, we have the power to make changes in our behavior, little by little.

2. You said that you read novels, watch videos, and stay up late because you are in a bad mood. I'm here to help! Let's find some healthier alternatives to these unhealthy habits that can help improve your mood.

You might think that reading novels and watching videos will make you feel better, but it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes, it can even make things worse! We all need to take care of our moods, and when we're feeling down, getting a good night's sleep is a great way to feel better.

When we get enough sleep, our willpower is restored and our self-control is enhanced, so we can do a lot of the things we want to do, rather than being in a daze. There are so many other ways to help the body and mind adjust to a better mood, too! Try getting up early in the day to do some exercise, which will keep you in a good mood all day. Or, go outside and soak up some sun. Read your favorite books. Chat with good friends. Go for a walk in nature. Express your emotions in writing. There are so many ways to lift your spirits!

You'll be happy to know there are lots of other ways to relax than reading novels and watching videos. These are the ways that nourish you, not deplete you.

3. Treat yourself kindly! It's totally okay to stay up late sometimes, but dwelling on it can really take a toll on you.

It's totally okay if you sometimes stay up late! It's already been done, and dwelling on it won't bring you any benefit other than causing yourself more trouble. I also sometimes stay up late, but I choose to be kind to myself. I also pay attention to my emotional and physical state after I get up. If there is no major impact, I will just go about my business. I live mindfully, without dwelling or judging. And when I feel that I am really a bit tired, I will also choose ways to take care of myself, such as taking a nap in the afternoon, doing some meditation, or getting a massage to relax, etc. Then, in the evening, I use the method mentioned in the first point to get into the habit of going to bed early, because I know that is really treating myself well.

I really hope this is helpful for you! Take care of yourself!

Hello!

I feel like I'm caught in a vicious cycle and I can't seem to break free.

I'd also like to know if, since menstruation is actually only seven days long, things will return to normal after those seven days.

Do you often find yourself staying up late reading novels or watching videos when you're feeling down?

From what I can see, you value happiness more than your own health.

If you stay up late all the time and something goes wrong with your health, it'll be harder to be happy.

What would you choose: short-term pleasure or long-term happiness?

It's like when a doctor tells a smoker to quit because it's better for their health. The smoker is afraid of having to have surgery again and experiencing a lot of pain.

Our behavior is all about seeking out the positive and avoiding the negative. That's because you're feeling tangible joy, especially when you're immersed in novels and videos. But the pain of poor health may be relatively mild.

So it's probably best to indulge yourself a little.

If you stay up late for too long, your body will let you know. It might affect your work, your life, and your studies. When we sleep, our brains rest. If you don't sleep well for too long, you might become forgetful and grumpy due to sleep deprivation.

If you're feeling down, are there any other ways to adjust?

For instance, you could try listening to some story hypnosis without watching. You'll probably fall asleep as you listen.

Soaking your feet can help relax your body and get you to sleep. When your feet are warm, it can help to reduce period pain.

Even a short walk can help you relax.

Is your period really the reason you're feeling down? Or are you using it as an excuse to let off steam?

Identify the things in your life that make you happy and get a good night's sleep to prepare for a better day.

Best of luck!

Hello! I see your confusion and I'm excited to talk to you about staying up late. You said that after your period, you get in a bad mood and tend to read novels and watch videos, which ends up keeping you up late. Then after staying up late, your health will deteriorate, which will lead to a bad mood, and then you want to stay up late again.

It's a vicious circle, but we can break it!

It's fantastic that the questioner has become aware of it herself!

Let's dive in! You mentioned that you stay up late because you're in a bad mood after your period. Is it just during your period, or almost every day? If it's just during your period, that's totally normal! Our hormones are in charge, so if we can't control them, we can just let them be.

If you stay up late almost every night, and you say you will stay up late reading novels, then you can switch to reading paper books! You can also read novels, and the four great classics are all novels, right? If you stay up late watching videos, it is better to watch less, because videos will get you more and more excited, and they are all fragmented things, which are equivalent to "mental opium."

Your question is: How do I quit staying up late? First of all, it's totally possible! It might take some time, but if you're ready to make a change, you can do it! You can slowly quit and even develop a new, good routine.

So let's have faith: I can!

Second, try not to bring your phone, tablet, etc. into the bedroom at night, or mute them and only check the time. Put a paper book on the bedside table, and do something you like that is quiet and helps you sleep. For example, you can meditate, which helps you sleep. It's amazing how much better you'll feel!

I'm so excited to share what I've learned with you! In Yixinli, the world and I love ❤️❤️❤️. I know it can be tough to develop a new habit, but I promise you it'll be worth it. You've got this! I hope the original poster is doing well.

Melissa Jackson Learning is a quest for truth and meaning.

I totally understand how that cycle can be tough. Maybe setting a strict bedtime routine could help, like winding down with a book or calming music an hour before sleep.

Finding healthier ways to uplift your mood might break the cycle. How about trying a short walk or chatting with a friend when you feel down?

Sometimes our bodies just need a reset. Have you considered having an early night and sticking to it for a week to see if it makes a difference in your mood?

It sounds like selfcare is key here. Instead of staying up late, what if you tried pampering yourself earlier in the evening with a bubble bath or face mask?

I think acknowledging your feelings is important. Can you perhaps journal about what's making you upset after your period? It might prevent the urge to stay up late.
