  Stolen from some time ago from another forum:

  This is me. For me, it’s not about the next day, but exactly about that “nothing can happen” feeling - everyone is finally asleep, no one has any expectations towards me, nobody will be calling me (it’s night, it’s rude to call people at night), nor will they be texting me (they’re normal people, they’re already in beds, sleeping). It’s the only time my body is able to relax a little. It’s the only time I can think about things, without interruptions and the nagging feelings I should be doing something else.

  I tried, I tried really hard to give it up, but I can’t. Now, with small kids in the mix, the mornings are not even an option.

  This is what “revenge” in “revenge bedtime procrastination” is about. That feeling that it’s the only time that’s actually yours, the only moment of actual autonomy in your life. Everything else is driven by others - working a job, running errands, being there with your loved ones. When it starts feeling like an unending stream of obligations, those few hours late at night are a form of defiance, showing the middle finger to the universe, reclaiming some time for yourself.

  I work from home so I do this and end up napping a lot during the day. But I get so much done in the evenings after regular work hours without all the meetings and slack chats and zoom calls and emails and whatever other bullshit.
