Description

When the house is finally quiet, staying up feels like the only way to reclaim your life — even if tomorrow pays the price. This pattern has a name: revenge bedtime procrastination.In this video, I break down why it happens (agency, FOMO over your own life) and how it quietly wrecks emotion regulation and control. Then I give you three practical playbooks: mindset shifts, sleep-quality wins, and ways to meet those needs during the day so nights don’t have to.You don’t have to choose between living and sleeping. Use these tools to feel more human tonight and more stable tomorrow.
