Low-quality sleep can lead to procrastination

The findings show that low sleep-quality is associated with increased levels of procrastination during the following day, and that this effect is moderated by individuals’ self-control, which means that individuals who are low in self-control are significantly affected by the quality of their sleep, while individuals who are high in self-control are not. The findings also show that a significant portion of the variance in people’s tendency to procrastinate was explained at the daily level, which suggests that variations in procrastinatory behavior are more strongly affected by within-person variables, such as sleep quality, than by between-person variables, such as trait self-control. A prevalent, relevant issue that’s especially important to avoid in this case is called bedtime procrastination, and occurs when people delay going to sleep, by engaging in various dilatory behaviors, such as gaming or browsing social media.
