You need to provide some context.. You procrastinate, but WHY ?
Not everyone will answer this the same way, and so the solution will differ.
I do it, because the only time I'm alone with my computer is in the evening after the day's done, and I steal my time from my sleep. It's clearly a problem, because it negatively affects my health and ability during the day, but if I can't have even this time, I wouldn't have any time at all and I'd not be able to go on. There are multiple solutions to my problem, but they've all been worse than the problem.
- Hard_Space 5y agoI recently read an article (sadly I cannot find the link) about the way that delaying of sleep is a fairly common symptom of depression, as it allows the sufferer to feel some measure of control over their life. As a sufferer myself, for 42 years, I can confirm this - delaying sleep gives me an extended window away from the problems that surface in a challenging period. Of course, this does not stand up to logical scrutiny, but it is, at best, a semi-logical and highly emotional response to adversity.
- marcintuleja 5y agoIt’s so called „revenge bedtime procrastination” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedtime_procrastination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedtime_procrastination). I think the reasons behind it usually fall into the same category, which you and parent commenter both mentioned - taking control over your time/life and “fixing” otherwise unsatisfying day.
