“Sleep procrastination is failing to go to bed at the right time when no external forces are keeping you from getting to sleep,” Brantner explains.

Night owls, on the other hand, are more productive at night than they are during the day. “Night owls are creative and productive at night,” Brantner clarifies. “They do their best work at this time.” So if you’re a night owl, you might be catching up on work projects, or tapping into your creative side by dedicating the late hours of the day to labors of love like writing a novel, journaling, or re-organizing your entire closet.
