Name: Sleep Education, Daily exercises, and Sleep Diary to Reduce Bedtime Procrastination Using LINE Bot
Description: On Day 1, participants set goals and develop plans to reduce bedtime procrastination (pre-study exercises) . During the two-week intervention period, participants will receive a message on LINE at 7:00 a.m. to develop a plan for reducing bedtime procrastination that day (daily exercises) and record their bedtime and wake-up time from the previous night (sleep diary). At 5:00 p.m., they will receive a message on LINE to develop a plan for reducing bedtime procrastination that day (daily exercises) and record their planned bedtime for that day (sleep diary).

Male and Female
Your actual sleep duration on weekdays is at least one hour shorter than the ideal amount of sleep you truly need.
You may sometimes regret staying up late or feel the need to change this habit.
The term "staying up late" as used here refers to situations where, due to reasons you can control - such as leisure activities - you end up going to bed later than planned even though you originally intended to go to bed earlier. This does not include situations where your bedtime is delayed due to reasons beyond your control, such as part-time jobs or commitments to others.
