This podcast episode focuses on "revenge bedtime procrastination," the phenomenon of staying up late despite wanting sleep to reclaim personal time, even if it's unproductive. Mel Robbins, the host, discusses the issue based on her personal experience and research, explaining it as a result of decision fatigue. She presents a five-step evening routine to combat this: 1) pick a bedtime (allowing 9 hours for 8 hours of sleep); 2) clean up daily messes; 3) make tomorrow easier; 4) take 5 minutes for self-care; and 5) put your phone away before bed. By following this routine, listeners can improve sleep quality and reduce the negative effects of decision fatigue.
