THe says nothing good at home, but when I read that the physicists of the Oxford Quantum had made a exciting step Towards teleportation, my first thought was: “Will I live long enough for science to teleport from the sofa to bed at night?”
I am an intractable procrastin at bedtime. As exhausted as I am, once I have reached the horizontality of the sofa, the bed seems useless. With a heated blanket and the whole internet in my hand, why do it sensitive when I can do what is good right now?
Apparently, I display a “current-hedonistic” time prospect, which feeds a “voluntary sleep delay in the absence of external factors”. Because even if science does not yet have my back, the social sciences are on this. Dr Jacqueline Nesi’s Excellent Newsletter Techno Sapiens Recently describes research on procrastination at bedtime and yes, it is a subject totally valid for the study: all these hours lost in the grip against the gravitational attraction of soft furniture (not to mention the risk of sleep disorders and mood disorders).
The three main potential causes, explains Nesi, are the “unpleasant time perspective” (insufficiently considering how our current action (in) affects the United States), “incorrect beliefs on the will” (we do not believe that we have it in us to go to bed, above all, A study suggestsIf we had a difficult day) and “procrastinitory cognitions”. Believe that you are a procrasting trash piece bothers you by doing anything, apparently.
I think that my main problem is that Nesi’s literature review identifies as a “bedtime aversion” and I call “bed”. All this brushing, dental silk and spice of interdental brushes in records, washing the face, pee and undocumented undocumented before I can finally rest impossible; I fight it with all the inertia that I can bring together (and it’s a lot of inertia).
Cognitive-behavioral strategies can help: Identify what makes you procrastinate, challenge your thinking models and set up your environment to succeed (yes, it’s store your phone). A genius suggested putting an odiously noisy alarm to go to my bedroom at bedtime, forcing me to go there. Everything I have the entire intention to try. Just, maybe not tonight.
