Simplified Meaning:

It's really tough to stop doing something you've been doing for a long time. Imagine if someone has been smoking for years. Even if they know smoking is bad for their health, quitting can be very challenging. This is because their body and mind are so used to the habit that it becomes like second nature. Consider trying to change your bedtime from late to early. At first, it’s really difficult because your body is used to the old routine. You might feel wide awake when you should be sleeping, or too tired when you need to wake up early. This saying highlights how hard it is to break free from these old routines. However, if you slowly change your behavior and replace the old habit with a better one, like reading a book instead of watching TV before bed, you can eventually succeed. This is a reminder to be patient with yourself when trying to make positive life changes.
