>bring intellectualism to “I stayed up until 1am playing Slay The Spire.”
The point is that it isn't doing something fun like playing a game you enjoy, which we can all understand as being a sort of trade off, its where instead of going to bed you do sort of.. mindless, pointless, unpleasant things like refresh the same feed(reddit, HN, what have you) or browse mindlessly and for much longer than anticipated.
Maybe you just haven't experienced it? I have. It is very different from times where I make decisions that leave me worse off in the future.. when I ask myself "why did I do that?" for drinking or staying out late I usually have an answer. For another set of behaviors, where the term 'revenge bedtime procrastination' feels like a shockingly apt description, I have no answer.
Maybe you can better understand this as people finding words for their feelings.
