Have you heard of revenge bedtime procrastination? How about bedtime procrastination in general? Even if you’re not familiar with the terms, you might’ve developed one of these sleep habits. Maybe, after an intense day of working, parenting, and doing household chores, you notice that the day is almost over. Perhaps you sit down on your couch at 9 p.m., and even though it’s time to transition into your bedtime routine, you stay up until all hours of the night, falling down various internet rabbit holes or otherwise soaking up that extra time to yourself. Yes, you know you’ll pay for it in the morning, but that’s not the problem you’re worried about right now. It turns out this habit has a name.
