Revenge Sleep Procrastination
According to the sleep expert Dorothy Chambers，"revenge sleep procrastination" refers to a phenomenon in which we delay going to sleep to do other unimportant things that we haven't had time to do in the day，and reflects a very poor work and life balance.
The researchers surveyed 2，012 adults and found that over three quarters admit doing a form of revenge sleep procrastination，using their phones right up until falling asleep.Then the researchers selected some social media apps to test how seriously they affect sleep quality.Each participant was asked to wear a smartwatch to record how long it took to fall asleep，and provide feedback on how tired they felt the next morning.The result revealed that the average time taken to fall asleep was over 45 minutes and an increasing tiredness was reported by over half of the participants.It showed that revenge sleep procrastination impacted sleep quality a lot，which can lead to adverse implications on physical and mental health.
So why does it happen？According to the researchers，it's largely down to the blue light emitted from phone screens.It stimulates the brain and reduces natural melatonin（褪黑素）production，increasing tiredness，and in turn increasing the amount of time spent falling asleep.
The researchers pointed that social media apps encourage the release of "pleasure chemicals"，giving us energy and a "happy" feeling.This could be why many of us choose them as our means of revenge sleep procrastination，even though we know they do have negative effects on our health.
To solve this problem，Dorothy recommended that we shouldn't use any electronics for at least two hours before sleeping to avoid sleep deprivation.Instead，we should try reading a book or taking deep breaths.
