Understanding Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

Revenge bedtime procrastination is a phenomenon where individuals prioritize personal time in the evening, often at the expense of sleep. This behavior typically arises from a desire to reclaim some sense of control and leisure after a busy day filled with responsibilities and decisions. People may find themselves scrolling through their phones or watching TV instead of going to bed, leading to frustration when they realize they have lost valuable sleep time. Recognizing this pattern is the first step toward addressing it and reclaiming a more restful evening routine.
