> [!AI]+ > "Revenge bedtime procrastination" is a phenomenon where individuals delay their bedtime on purpose, even when they are aware that they should be sleeping. The term "報復性熬夜 (bàofùxìng áoyè)" is the Chinese translation of this concept. People engage in this behavior as a form of "revenge" against the lack of free time they have during the day due to work or other obligations. By postponing sleep, they reclaim some personal time, often by engaging in leisure activities such as browsing the internet, watching TV, or scrolling through social media, even though it results in insufficient sleep and potential negative consequences for their well-being and productivity the following day.
