bedtime procrastination

Okay, so now on to today's topic.

It's one I find very fascinating, not spoken about as much, and that is revenge bedtime procrastination.

That is very much a mouthful.

And I wanted to, I'm going to start off with giving, as usual, a little backstory, introduction, definition of what this is, some studies, and then we'll dive into some questions, the neuroscience, and then end off with a neurocycle prescription, walking through how to manage this and the next steps.

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.

is choosing to stay up late, usually scrolling, because the hours after everyone else is asleep are the only ones that feel like yours.

It went viral during the pandemic, as so many other things did, but the research behind it is still, it's still quite thin.

So it's, there's definitely, it affects sleep and sleep quality, which again, we're going to get into, but I definitely know this is something I've noticed in my life and it's just an interesting concept.

If you're a fan of rain ambience hopefully you can hear just like little gentle pitter patter in the background.

Today's topic is bedtime procrastination.

But before we get into that, let's talk about my most recent learning.

My most recent learning is that I am bad at being on holiday.

If you also struggle taking holiday time without like a destination, if you also struggle just relaxing when you're at home for an extended period of time, if you have any tips, let me know.

And yeah.

Let's continue with today's actual topic, which is bedtime procrastination.

The idea for this episode came about when I was actually writing the most recent learning for a previous episode topic, or not previous, but I was going to write a completely different, write about a completely different topic for episode seven.

So here's what I was doing, and I didn't even know this had a name.

It's called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.

When you stay up late to reclaim some personal time after you seem to be giving everything to everyone else.

You give everyone else a piece of you.

So tell us your bedtime.

What time did you go last night? 0800 004 Coastal.

Flick your bedtime text to 2699 and we'll go through them and I'll tell you 9, between 10 and 11 or midnight or later and what that says about you when it comes to revenge bedtime procrastination.

So basically it's where you stay up late to reclaim some personal time after a day when everyone else seemed to get a piece of you.
