bedtime procrastination

[darkoshi]

I've been trying to shift my sleep schedule and go to bed earlier. The first couple of nights, I did go to bed somewhat earlier and felt like I was on the right track. But since then I've been staying up later and later again.

I finally found a term for my problem; it is called sleep (or bedtime) procrastination.

One aspect of it is revenge bedtime procrastination, which I often have during the work week.

I don't usually have trouble falling asleep once I go to bed, so that is not the issue. Much of the advice one finds when searching is related to that, rather than in how to get yourself to go to bed in the first place.
