This phenomenon, scientifically termed 'bedtime procrastination,' is widely documented. A pioneering observational study by Kroese et al. (2014) shows that difficulties with self-regulation promote this sleep-avoidance behavior. Regarding the specific role of technology, a meta-analysis led by Carter et al. (2016) confirms a strong association between screen use before bedtime and reduced sleep duration. Finally, an observational study by Exelmans and Van den Bulck (2017) explains that evening media consumption stimulates cognitive arousal, which delays the natural sensation of fatigue from our internal clock. The creator's observation is therefore perfectly aligned with current research on modern sleep dynamics.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: C

Linked to, not proven to cause.

Effect: association of bedtime procrastination with insufficient sleep and self-regulation (survey study) — bedtime procrastination predicted self-reported insufficient sleep beyond demographics and self-regulation; lower self-regulation linked to more procrastination
Measured on: community adults (cross-sectional survey)

The evidence is cross-sectional and self-reported, so it shows a link, not proof that curbing the habit adds hours. Still, targeting the decision to stay up is low-risk and intuitive.

More from Carla Valette

Excessive use of active ingredients (acids, retinoids) damages the skin's protective barrier, causing blemishes and redness often mistaken for hormonal acne. To restore clear skin, it is necessary to suspend these actives and apply soothing and repairing ingredients such as niacinamide, centella asiatica, panthenol, and ceramides.

Protecting your ears from excessive noise helps preserve your non-regenerative auditory cells, which assists in maintaining mental sharpness and preserving memory over the long term.

Wear hearing protection in very noisy environments, such as concerts, to avoid irreversible damage to the inner ear and thereby reduce the long-term risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

Others on this

Needlessly delaying bedtime ("bedtime procrastination") is framed here as coming from not having processed the day's emotions — working through them before bed supposedly helps you fall asleep.

Sleep isn't dead time for your muscles — muscle protein synthesis keeps repairing and rebuilding tissue damaged during the day while you're out.

If you run hot at night, cooling the bed down (a fan, a cooling pad, or a cooled mattress) genuinely helps you sleep better.

Bedtime procrastination — delaying sleep for no real reason while knowing it'll hurt the next day — is linked to end-of-day depletion of self-regulation, especially in high-pressure jobs; noticing it and building a calm pre-bed routine helps limit it.

mixedDr. Shade Zahrai (PhD, MBA)

Eliminate internet-connected screens in the evening in favor of simple, screenless audio players (such as an iPod without a browser) to avoid bedtime procrastination caused by distractions (social media, emails, streaming videos).
