Abstract

Why don’t people go to bed on time? Procrastination is an emotion regulation issue; however, the role of emotion in bedtime procrastination is unclear. Across two studies, we will experimentally manipulate affective arousal and valence separately to investigate causal relationships between affect and bedtime procrastination.
