#Bedtimeprocrastination

A new study shows that delaying bedtime is more about emotional well-being and personality traits than simply poor time management. The findings offer fresh guidance for Thai readers facing late nights in a bustling urban environment like Bangkok, and a national sleep deficit that affects health, education, and productivity.

In Bangkok and other Thai cities, late-night study, work, and socializing contribute to an ongoing sleep shortage. Data from Thailand’s National Statistical Office indicate that urban residents frequently do not get enough sleep, with potential implications for mental health and academic performance. This research provides a broader lens on why sleep can be elusive in fast-paced Thai life.

A new study reveals that procrastinating bedtime—a common struggle for many young adults—may be shaped more by underlying emotional health and personality traits than by simple poor time management, offering fresh insights for those in Thailand grappling with late nights and insufficient sleep. The research, set to be presented at the SLEEP 2025 annual meeting, highlights higher levels of neuroticism and lower levels of conscientiousness and extraversion among individuals who routinely delay going to bed even without external obligations, findings that suggest new directions for sleep-related interventions and wellness strategies (Neuroscience News).
