For the scrolling till 2am thing I have been using this strategy:

1. Before opening the laptop I decide how much time I want to spend, and what I will do immediately after.

2. Set a timer that I'll have to get up to turn off.

3. Do the thing I had decided to do. It can be a little thing, like washing 1 dish, taking out the trash...

I tried many strategies before finding one that works, and will still try to develop more so I'm not completely sunk if/when this one stops working.
