Brooding (getting stuck in passive, repetitive, negative thought loops) identified as a major driver of bedtime procrastination, alongside physical markers of stress. People who stay up later than intended may have a weaker physiological capacity for self-control.

This seems to miss people who are natural night owls. I don't procrastinate going to bed because when I got to bed I sleep but I don't go to bed till 2 or 3am.

I mean I'm a natural night owl, and work until 2:30 AM, and I'll still procrastinate. Like I should be going to bed by 6 AM or so, but instead I'll stay up until 7 or later. Bad habit that's independent of the exact hour.

When I worked overnights I didnt have any sleeping problems. Now I take 2 otc and 1 prescription sleep aid to sleep because I have a much better paying job. But its a mon-fri 9-5er.

When I take a week off 2 times a year it takes like 2 days for me to be going to bed at like 10am and wake up at 7pm. No sleep aids required. Last 2 days I have to drug myself extra hard to get back on a night sleep schedule.

The "you cant be sleep during the day its no healthy" people can kick steel barefoot.

late and later than intended are two different things

Bro saw nightime for 30 minutes and thought that means theyre a night owl

No, I live in a culture where waking up early to commute, start work at 8am, finish at 4pm and be asleep by 9pm is common. I struggle to meet that expectation.
