We’ve all been there. The day has been long, packed with responsibilities, deadlines, errands, and perhaps even a dash of chaos. By the time the evening rolls around, the to-do list is finally checked off, and there’s a moment to breathe. But instead of winding down for much-needed rest, you find yourself scrolling through social media, binge-watching yet another episode, or aimlessly browsing online. You know you’re tired. You know you should be asleep. Yet, you delay bedtime. This phenomenon has a name: Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.
