Listen Later

Ep. 87 Are you trading sleep for "me-time"? Do you find yourself scrolling, snacking, or staying up way too late knowing you’ll pay for it tomorrow—but doing it anyway?

In this episode of The Doze Podcast, host Soda Kuczkowski unpacks the psychology behind revenge bedtime procrastination and shows you how to turn that late-night rebellion into something more powerful: intentional rest.

If you have ever told yourself, “This is the only time I get for me,” this episode will challenge that belief with compassion—and offer you a new way forward. Because what your body and mind are really asking for may surprise you.
