Revenge Bedtime Procrastination
Revenge bedtime procrastination is a common behavior exhibited by individuals, particularly women, who feel overwhelmed with various responsibilities throughout the day. It often occurs when people finally have some 'me time' late at night and choose to stay up rather than go to bed early. This behavior is linked to hustle culture and can lead to unhealthy habits such as excessive screen time, impulsive purchases, and binge-watching. Despite knowing the importance of early bedtime for better sleep, individuals engage in revenge bedtime procrastination as a way to reclaim some personal time. The key insight is that the gap lies not in knowledge but in action; behavior changes only when one implements the knowledge of the benefits of early sleep rather than just being aware of it.
