Why do I buy things online at night I regret by morning?

You buy things late at night, often without much thought. By morning you regret it, sometimes cancel it. The pattern repeats. This tells you something clear: the buying was never really about the item. There is the mind, and there is the one who watches the mind. In the evening, when the body is tired, the watcher grows dim and the mind's restlessness grows loud. It reaches for anything that quiets it fast — a purchase, a scroll, a click. The relief is real but small and short. By morning, the watcher is clearer again, and it sees the mistake. This is not a flaw in your character. It is a known pattern of an untrained mind under fatigue. It can be worked with directly, through practice, not through willpower alone. If the urge to buy is tangled with a deeper distress — grief, isolation, money fear that feels too large to hold alone — bring in a trusted person or counselor. Practice supports steady ground; it does not replace it.
