How do people not get into the habit of looking at their stocks all the time?

I do that often and it is ruining my health. I live on PST time so the stock market opens at 6:30 AM everyday. Because of that, I automatically wake up at 6-7 everyday and I have little control over that. In addition to that, I also check my stocks once every hour or two. Every time I do so, I can feel a tiny bit of ambient anxiety.

I feel this has been ruining my health over the past few years. I used to sleep really well 6 years ago when I didn’t own so many shares. It was worse 3 years ago when I also traded crypto and options.

I’m looking for some advice on how I can stop looking at stocks all the time and wake up in the morning at 6-7 to check the market opening. I’d appreciate any bit of advice.
