Do you have revenge sleep procrastination? It’s when you intentionally stay up late to have some personal time even though you know it’s going to negatively affect your sleep.

Prompt created by yours truly.

I’d love to read your responses

OMG I have this big time! There are days when I purposely stay up late so I can unwind and relax, do what I want to do.

During work hours, I feel like I’ve lost control of the day. Everything is urgent and it’s go go go as soon as I get to work. So when I return home, I want to gain control of whatever time is left for the day (which isn’t much) and enjoy my personal time, especially after a stressful day. Unfortunately, sometimes I get carried away and before I know it, it’s already 0300. Le sigh.

I wish there were more hours in the day for personal time or less work hours (but still get paid the same). That would be nice.

    Maybe one day you’ll find a way to slow down. Or set alarms to limit time for each personal activity.

    Yes. They said like passive income. But, I hope you get enough rest always. And my sister shared a post that says, why work so hard that we are all mortal. Sending my hugs.

      idk it’s like with inflation and all the bs going on in the world, living is expensive

        I agree. Especially if you buy everything like food. That’s why we planted food.

    Ahahahahaha!! Same here, I know I shouldn’t but sometimes I delay my meds, say on a Friday night and I want to watch movies on YT… or I will intentionally (sorta like yesterday!) drink buttloads of coffee… I didn’t get to sleep until after one am last night ^^

    I read about revenge bedtime procrastination years ago as I found myself not sleeping till early hours of the day. I found that when I resolved matters from work and personal life before going home then I was at peace. Some things do last long and don’t resolve easily but then sleep became a priority when I learned more about the benefits to health. Its not easy but its better to let things go and sleep.

    Every. Single. Workday.

    And most weekends.

    Too much work, too much stress, too much BS, not enough unwind time…

    But I’ve also started getting up earlier so I still have time for my morning crow/walk posts.

    I can’t win…

      😩 do I just say fuck it all lol

    When you’re young, one can afford to do that. I would read into the morning. But now I need my sleep. If I don’t, I’d have a headache the next day.

      I sleep on the weekends when I’m not working lol
