But you just can't…or won’t. You tell yourself, just one more episode, or a few more minutes of scrolling, or a little more work to sneak in. It seems innocuous, but what if it was actually causing a world of harm? To your health, relationships, state of mind, performance at work, and more? Our guest is Vanessa Hill, PhD, a leading sleep scientist and Research Fellow at CQ University, who specializes in the science of bedtime procrastination. She is a Science Communication Fellow at the Museum of Science and an expert in how our digital habits shape our rest. And today, we’re talking about: The near-addictive quality of sleep procrastination, and the hidden reason for it The surprising research showing why blue light might not be the sleep villain we’ve been told it is Why your \"night brain\" finds it nearly impossible to “do the right thing, and get to bed” The one habit that often matters more than the total minutes spent on your phone Why common sleep advice often fails, and what to do instead If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of late nights and tired mornings, you are not alone. Listen to this episode to discover a more compassionate, science-backed way to reclaim your rest and feel like yourself again.
