Revenge Bedtime Averted

How to complete Revenge Bedtime Averted

Revenge bedtime procrastination is staying up not because you're not tired but to reclaim hours the day stole from you. Beating it once proves the late scrolling wasn't actually rest, and protects tomorrow from today's exhaustion.

1. Set a firm screens-off time and put the phone out of arm's reach
2. When the urge to 'reclaim time' hits, name it, that's the procrastination, not a real need
3. Do one short wind-down thing instead, like reading a few pages or stretching
4. Get in bed at the reasonable hour even if you don't feel sleepy yet

Tips

• The free time you want is real, schedule it earlier in the evening instead of stealing it from sleep
• Charge your phone outside the bedroom so reaching for it takes real effort

What counts as done

You powered down and went to bed at a sensible hour instead of staying up to scroll.
