3 Key Features That Define Sleep Procrastination

• The delay in going to sleep must decrease a person's overall sleep time per night.
• This delay in going to sleep is not due to any other reason, such as being sick of an environmental source interfering with sleep.
• People who engage in the behavior are fully aware that it may lead to negative consequences, but they choose to engage in it anyways.

Online shopping, scrolling through social media posts, reading, and watching streaming services are examples of easy things that people enjoy doing when they are putting off sleep.
