Abstract
Bedtime procrastination is an established phenomenon, but it is unclear in what contexts it is more likely to happen. This paper explores the correlates of bedtime procrastination and their relationships with each other. For this purpose, this study will follow a model in which boredom mediates the relationship between bedtime procrastination and electronic media use. Through this model, researchers generated three hypotheses that investigate whether these three factors are related to each other and if the mediation exists. The first hypothesis stated that electronic media use and bedtime procrastination would be related. The second hypothesis stated that there would be a correlation between boredom and electronic media use. Finally, the third hypothesis stated that electronic media use and boredom would be related. Participants (N = 191) were recruited via convenience sampling, and they responded to a preliminary questionnaire and 10 daily surveys across five days. Results found no significant mediation, but bedtime procrastination was significantly related to both electronic media use and boredom. With these findings, this study contributes to the body of literature about bedtime procrastination, and it might be helpful to future researchers.
