Abstract
Sleep-deprivation is associated with a number of negative outcomes, such as decreased positive affect and life purpose. It was previously shown that bedtime procrastination is a predictor for sleep-deprivation and decreased sleep quality. A form of bedtime procrastination is revenge bedtime procrastination (RBP), which assumes an intentional delay of sleep to engage in leisure activities which could not be pursued during the daytime. To test whether RBP is predicted by the frustration of one’s basic psychological needs (i.e., the need for autonomy, relatedness, competence), a convenience sample of 102 college students was recruited. Self-determination theory assumes that not satisfying one’s basic psychological needs results in negative consequences, such as stress and poor sleep. Therefore, this study examined whether basic psychological need frustration and RBP engagement were positively correlated, and whether perceived academic distress (PAS) mediated this relationship. The results showed that although need frustration and RBP engagement were positively related, PAS mediated the relation between need frustration and RBP engagement. These findings highlight that fulfilling one’s psychological needs and reducing stress could be steps to reduce RBP and consequently sleep deprivation. Keywords: Revenge bedtime procrastination, self-determination theory, basic psychological needs, perceived academic stress, college students
