Bedtime procrastination

Bedtime procrastination is a psychological phenomenon that involves needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed, despite foreseeably being worse off as a result.^[1] Bedtime procrastination can occur due to losing track of time, or as an attempt to enjoy control over the nighttime due to a perceived lack of control over the events of the daytime; this latter phenomenon has recently been called revenge bedtime procrastination, a term which originated on the Chinese social media platform Weibo in 2014.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Bedtime procrastination has been linked to shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep quality and higher fatigue during the day.^[5] One of the main factors in bedtime procrastination is human behaviour.^[6]
