Revenge bedtime procrastination is when you stay up past your bedtime to watch TV or scroll through social media.​ Experts say this is often a problem for people who are overworked and looking for some extra time for themselves. Staying up late and getting up early can cause sleep deprivation, which affects your physical and mental health. We know that just mindlessly scrolling and not really interacting in a meaningful way actually increases our stress as opposed to reducing it, Vaile Wright, senior director of health care innovation at the American Psychological Association. Studies show that getting extra sleep on the weekends is not the best way to catch up on lost sleep. Sleeping more on the weekends can lead to overeating and weight gain. Experts recommend ensuring your room is quiet and dark for sleeping and to stop using electronics such as cell phones in bed.
