Beaches Therapy Featured in the Toronto Star: How Late-Night Habits Affect Your Relationship

We’re proud to share that Beaches Therapy Group was recently featured in the Toronto Star in an article exploring revenge bedtime procrastination — a common but often overlooked habit that can take a toll on mental health and romantic relationships. The article, titled “Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: The Hidden Habit Hurting Your Relationship“, dives into why so many of us delay sleep to reclaim personal time and how this behaviour can create emotional distance in couples. Our team was interviewed to provide professional insight into how patterns like these emerge, how they affect emotional connection, and what couples can do to navigate them. “Revenge bedtime procrastination is a sign that someone’s not getting their needs met during the day,” explains our team. “Over time, this can breed resentment, fatigue, and disconnection in a relationship.” Whether you’re the night owl, the early riser, or a couple caught in a mismatched routine, the article offers relatable examples and actionable advice grounded in therapy. We’re honoured to be part of this important conversation and to continue raising awareness about how small habits can have a big impact on your mental health and relationships.
