Abstract Synopsis

  • The research investigates how mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII), a self-regulation technique, can effectively reduce bedtime procrastination, which is delaying going to bed without a legitimate reason and negatively affecting sleep quality.
  • Two studies with undergraduate students showed that MCII increased their commitment to cut down bedtime procrastination, leading to fewer minutes of delaying bedtime over the following weeks.
  • The findings suggest that MCII is a simple, cost-effective method to improve sleep hygiene by helping individuals better regulate their bedtime behaviors, though further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and broader applications.]
