PHOENIX — Dr. Katie Stage with the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, said "revenge bedtime procrastination" is a new name for behavior that has been around for quite some time.
"The concept is that you go to bed or you think you're going to go to bed, you pick up your phone and then you start scrolling... usually through social media, you know, for much longer than you want to," Dr. Stage explained. "And then what happens is, you don't go to sleep on time and you're tired the next day, you know, and then maybe you keep doing it over and over because you're too tired to do other things and I think it's definitely worse in the pandemic... like so many things, a lot of the activities that we might have done before are less accessible and so we can control this... the idea of it being procrastination is the sense of that trying to gain control over something in your life where life has maybe changed a lot."
