Abstract
The completion of a thesis often demands sustained effort, focus, and effective time management. However, many students struggle with bedtime procrastination, which can interfere with their ability to maintain a healthy sleep schedule and, consequently, affect their overall productivity and well-being. This study explores the relationship between self-control and bedtime procrastination among students who are in the process of completing their theses. Bedtime procrastination is the behaviour of delaying bedtime until later than planned for no apparent reason, despite being aware of the consequences. One of the main factors that influence bedtime procrastination is the lack of self-control. Self-control is an individual's ability that includes regulating emotions, resisting urges, and making careful choices in achieving goals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-control and bedtime procrastination in students who are completing their theses. Using a quantitative method, The instruments used in this study are Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) and Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) was conducted to a total of 359 students who are in the process of completing their theses from various universities in Jakarta. The measuring instruments used in this study are Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) to measure self-control and Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) to measure bedtime procrastination. The results obtained show that there is a strong negative relationship between self-control and bedtime procrastination in students who are completing their thesis.
