Routes

    Route::group( ['middleware' => 'auth' ], function()
    {
     Route::get('main', 'PageController@main');

     Route::get('browse', 'PageController@browse');

     Route::get('pickngo', 'PageController@pickngo');

     Route::get('edit_profile', 'PageController@profile');
    }

Answer 1

Use Laravel loginUsingId($id) function by passing the user id.

$data = User::create($request->except(['_token', 'submit', 'day','month','year', 'confirm_password' ,'dayInWeek']));

Auth::loginUsingId($data->id);

Answer 2

just modify your auth login just like

if(Auth::login($data))   {
   return redirect('/edit_profile');
   }
   else
  {
   return redirect()->back();
  }
