Sleep procrastination, also known as revenge bedtime procrastination, involves delaying sleep despite its negative consequences. This behavior is influenced by factors such as a desire for autonomy, which leads individuals to reclaim control over their time after a day filled with obligations. Additionally, cognitive impulsivity plays a significant role, as many prioritize short-term rewards—such as binge-watching shows or completing work—over the long-term benefits of good sleep. This phenomenon reflects a complex interaction of various psychological and social elements, rather than a simple lack of discipline.
The phenomenon of sleep procrastination, or "revenge bedtime procrastination", stems from deeper psychological needs such as autonomy and a desire for immediate gratification.
Sleep procrastination often arises from our subconscious desire to reclaim control, representing a rebellion against the obligations that weigh us down during the day.
Due to cognitive impulsivity, people frequently prioritize short-term gains, opting to delay sleep in favor of immediate pleasures despite knowing the health risks.
This behavior indicates a complex interplay of cognition, biology, and societal factors, beyond just a simple lack of self-discipline.
