June 26, 2023 — In the tenth episode of “The Glitch,” Asia Society Korea Senior Contributor David Tizzard and Guest Contributor Jasmine Ko explore a new modern phenomenon: revenge bedtime procrastination. Their work uncovers just how little Korean people are sleeping in the 21st century and explores some of the reasons why, including FOMO (the fear of missing out), living in a hypercompetitive society, and a desire to reinstate autonomy in their lives. While this trend is notable in Korea nowadays, it is also being observed and studied in other parts of the world.
