Unfortunately, a habit that I have developed recently is a bad habit, which is doom scrolling through short YouTube videos before getting to sleep. I developed this habit during a tough period in my life where I was quite depressed and anxious. Before going to bed, I would get negative ideas and emotions, and my brain would be filled with bad scenarios, putting me in a bad mood. I used to scroll through YouTube videos to clear my mind from these thoughts. Nowadays, I can't go to sleep without them, even though I have gotten better mentally. This habit has negatively impacted my overall health by making me go to sleep later and affecting my eyesight with all the blue light.
