The only thing I've found that helps is feeling like I achieved something worthwhile in my day. So after 6+ hours of video games it'll be like 1am, I'll yawn and suddenly think, oh I should get in a couple hours of writing. Whereas if I had already cleaned the house and emailed my family then I'll be in bed by 11.
It's a problem where the solution is to not have the problem in the first place, which doesn't help if you already have the problem.
