Key Points

This research aims to investigate the direct impact of self-control on sleep procrastination among college students and to explore the mediating roles of rumination and negative emotions.
Surveys were conducted with 952 college students in Sichuan province using scales for self-control, rumination, negative emotions, and sleep procrastination.
Analyzed relationships among self-control, rumination, negative emotions, and sleep procrastination to assess both direct and indirect effects.
Self-control negatively correlates with both rumination and negative emotions, while both rumination and negative emotions positively correlate with sleep procrastination.
Self-control predicts sleep procrastination directly and through three indirect pathways: rumination alone, negative emotions alone, and the chain mediation by both rumination and negative emotions.
The total indirect effect value is -0.066, comprising 22.45% of the total effect.

Implication

Shows self-control affects sleep procrastination in college students, suggesting a psychological pathway.
