Abstract in brief

  • The studies explore how people's beliefs about willpower (whether it's a limited resource or not) and stress levels influence their tendency to delay going to bed, known as bedtime procrastination.
  • Results indicate that individuals who believe willpower is limited tend to delay sleep more after stressful days, while those with nonlimited beliefs do not show this pattern.
  • Interestingly, despite needing to recover their willpower after stress, limited theorists actually sleep less, suggesting that their beliefs may lead to self-control failures related to bedtime.]
