Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: Scientific Quiz
What is Revenge Bedtime Procrastination ?
Revenge bedtime procrastination refers to a behavior where you deliberately delay your bedtime, despite knowing you may not get enough sleep as a result, as a form of rebellion or “revenge” against a lack of free time during the day.
This behavior is often exhibited by individuals who feel their daytime hours are overly dominated by work or responsibilities, leaving them with little time for personal leisure or self-care.
By staying up late, you’re able to claim some time for themselves. However, the consequences are often negative, as it can lead to insufficient sleep and associated health problems like fatigue, reduced cognitive function, mood disorders, and a weakened immune system.
This term gained popularity on social media platforms and in academic discussions on sleep behavior and work-life balance.
