Goal

Test whether a protected daytime focus block shifts bedtime earlier

Hypothesis

One protected deep-focus block during the day (60–90 min, no Slack/phone) will shift bedtime earlier without willpower

Revenge bedtime procrastination — the evening compensates for a day fragmented by interruptions; regaining control over the day via a focus block should reduce the urge to "reclaim your time" at night
