Post-00s prefer to "take the initiative to stay up late"

During the day, due to work and study, I can't help myself, and I want to enjoy a short entertainment time at night. This kind of late-night behavior with compensatory psychology is more obvious in the post-95 and post-00s.
The report shows that among the people who stay up late, 46% of them choose "active insomnia" because they do not want to sleep, of which 60% are post-00s.

In addition, mobile phone computer blue light will inhibit melatonin secretion. Experts suggest that staying away from mobile phones and computers half an hour before going to bed and developing good sleep habits is more effective than taking melatonin.
