Survey on ‘Revenge Bedtime Procrastination’: Knowingly Skipping Sleep For More Personal Time

The day is over; your work is done—the chores, the office reports, and other daily routine tasks. The day was hard; you could almost pass out from exhaustion. You check the clock; it is late at night. You go straight to your bed, feeling so sure of falling asleep quickly.

Now, something else is happening. Instead of closing your eyes and going off to sleep, you find yourself staying up an extra hour or two to veg out and watch your favorite series or scroll through social media. Before you know it, it is past midnight, and now you are anxious about getting up in just a few hours to start it all over again, sleep-deprived. Nonetheless, you already know the consequences even before your wilful decision to sacrifice hours of sleep. So why?

This phenomenon is called “revenge sleep procrastination.” It likely happens when hectic schedules and daily duties prevent someone from enjoying some time for themselves earlier in the day. It all boils down to attempting to reclaim that much-needed personal time, even if it costs them hours of sleep. It drives people to stay awake merely to gain some sense of freedom.

Sleep procrastination is something that many people do from time to time. This condition may affect them differently based on their circumstances and the reasons they feel the need to stay up late. People who work in high-stress occupations, those who work long hours, and parents who have little time to themselves throughout the day are just a few examples.
