The recruited participants were evaluated using the BtP Scale, World Health Organzation-5 Well-Being index, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire and Single-Item Sleep Quality Scale.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>A total of 401 participants were recruited for the study. Symptoms of anxiety were higher in the female participants compared to males. Among females, there was a significant positive correlation between BtP score with symptoms of anxiety (r  = 0.23) and depression (r  = 0.15) and a negative correlation with subjective wellbeing (r  = -0.23). A significant negative correlation was found between the ages of women and BtP score (r  = -0.15). Among the male participants, there was a significant negative correlation of age with BtP score (r  = -0.3) and anxiety (r  = -0.19). Here, too, the BtP score was positively correlated with depression (r  = 0.18) and anxiety (r  = 0.35).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>BtP worsens anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and subjective well-being. It needs to be targeted for the promotion and prevention of mental health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5498\/wjp.v15.i8.106092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]],"date-time":"2025-08-08T02:34:35Z","timestamp":1754620475000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Interplay among bedtime procrastination, sleep patterns, and subjective wellbeing in the Indian population: An observational study"],"prefix":"10.5498","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Gunjan","family":"Parasher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shikhar","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sujita Kumar","family":"Kar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5888\/pcd20.230197"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5665\/sleep.4716"},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"LocalCircles.   61% Indians are getting less than 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. 2025.
