How to end 'revenge bedtime procrastination': Stop mindlessly scrolling through your phone in bed

A new report gives it a name -- "revenge bedtime procrastination."
In today’s Mom Minute Monday, 3News’ Maureen Kyle talked to local sleep expert, Dr. Michelle Drerup with the Cleveland Clinic, about why we do it -- and what we can do to stop.

The main reason for most Americans (which you conveniently left out of this super corporate esque video) is that we feel most of our waking hours of life, are controlled by employers who underpay, and over work us, the sooner we go to bed, the sooner we have to wake up and work really hard and still just scrape by. For some of us it's our time to work on our passions while we can, for others it's just time to not think about it do anything.
