DamChats 27) Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: Why Parents Stay Up Late and How to Stop

Why do we stay awake when we are absolutely exhausted? In this episode of DAMChats, Eva and Maren take a warm, honest, and direct look at the phenomenon of Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. Eva shares a vulnerable breakthrough from a recent therapy session about the overwhelming "nightly reset"—the endless cycle of folding laundry, clearing toys, and tackling dishes that eats into our rest.

We explore why we sacrifice sleep for a few moments of autonomy and how the "mental load" of parenting in a foreign country makes these evening hours feel so precious. From the psychology of the "doom scroll" to practical strategies for a restorative wind-down ritual, we discuss how to break the cycle of exhaustion. It’s time to stop treating sleep as a luxury and start finding ways to reclaim your peace without sacrificing your health. Tune in for actionable tips to help the whole family transition from chaos to rest.
