Staying up late on purpose, even while exhausted, is common enough to have its own name.
It has a name: revenge bedtime procrastination, delaying sleep on purpose to reclaim time that felt like it belonged to you, even when you're genuinely tired and know better. It's common enough that most people have done it without ever hearing the term for it.
Why it isn't really about the show or the scrolling
The pattern is generally understood to show up most in people whose daytime hours feel heavily claimed by other obligations, work, family, responsibilities that don't leave much room that feels like it's actually theirs. Staying up late becomes a way of taking some of that time back, even though sleep is what ends up paying for it.
This is part of why the specific activity, a show, a game, scrolling, matters less than the underlying motive. The activity is just whatever's available in that reclaimed hour, not really the point of it.
Why it's a hard pattern to talk yourself out of
Knowing the cost the next morning rarely changes the decision in the moment, since the trade being made isn't really about tomorrow. It's about tonight, and the sense that giving up this hour means the entire day belonged to someone or something else.
This is generally why advice like "just go to bed earlier" tends to fall flat for this specific pattern. It treats the problem as a willpower issue, when the actual driver is usually about reclaiming a sense of control over the day, not a lack of discipline at bedtime.
What this means practically
None of this means the late nights need to stop entirely or that enjoying downtime is the problem. It's more a reason to notice where that reclaimed hour is actually coming from. If daytime hours consistently feel like they belong to everyone except you, that's generally a more useful thing to address than the bedtime itself.
For more on what a single late night can cost the next day, see How One Bad Night of Sleep Affects Your Decision-Making. A pattern like this one can also outlast whatever started it in the first place, more on that in Why Bad Sleep Habits Outlast the Stress That Caused Them.

Try it for a full sleep cycle
Thirty nights may not be enough time to get a full sense of a recovery formula, since recovery is generally understood as an ongoing pattern rather than something that shows up fully in a single bag's worth of nights. So Moongreens comes with a 90-night guarantee: enough time to notice a difference in how you wake up, not just how quickly you fall asleep. If it isn't the right fit, you haven't lost anything.
