The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between bedtime procrastination, phubbing, and self-control. Data was gathered via an online questionnaire where participants completed the Bedtime Procrastination Scale, the Phubbing Scale, and the Brief Self-Control Scale. Analysis of the responses from 98 valid participants supported our hypothesis, indicating a significant correlation among these three variables. The results show that there exists negative relationship between self-control and bedtime procrastination, the positive relationship between phubbing and bedtime procrastination, and the negative relationship between self-control and phubbing. Based on the relevance of this study, people can use these results to adjust behaviors or thoughts to their own effect.
