This behavior is called \拖延症)\and our body clock, reported HuffPost.
According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn't follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week.
It's found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing other trivial(琐碎的) things, which were keeping them up in the first place.
\诱惑)and adhering(坚持)to their intentions are also more likely to delay going to bed,\University, further explained to HuffPost.
Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.
In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Ulm University in Germany studied the sleep patterns of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.
And more surprisingly, night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.
\University, concluded in Popular Science. \intention.\
Popular Science, \important for our health.\
