Lunchtime Trivia Monday, May 17

Q:  This condition has been around forever and could affect close to half of us,  yet researchers are just starting to learn more about it.  What is it?

A: Revenge Sleep Procrastination.

To sum it up it is when one justifies staying up late and putting off sleep because now “it’s my time” .  The problem becomes sleep deprivation and other side effects.

To find out how prevalent bedtime procrastination is, Kroese and her colleagues surveyed more than 2,400 people in the Netherlands. They found that about 53 percent of the respondents claimed that they went to bed later than they wanted at least twice a week. They also discovered that people who admit to regularly putting off bedtime were also more likely than others to report being poorly rested, be procrastinators in other areas of their lives, and score lower in self-control.
