If you feed a dog at 7am every morning the dog knows to alert you when it is time to be fed. It doesn't need a watch. It just knows. How strong then must habits be? Swami V has warned us that the addiction to media is cursed with much restlessness and anxiety. Not his exact words. But you get the point. Most people are driven by fear and their dependency to these habits- we even find solace in our abusers. Sometimes the mind urges us to feed our addictions, there must be a chemical process somewhere in there that releases a type of pleasure or satisfaction for fulfilling that urge- even if it is a momentary pleasure. Tricky indeed.
