There is the motte/bailey thing here. What specifically does “procrastination” mean? It is a mysterious black box containing many different things. Some of those things are probably helpful, some of them are harmful, some are neutral.
For example “procrastination helps your brain relax”. Well, some activities (done instead of your work) help you relax, but some make you even more tired (mentally). Don’t use thinking about the former as an excuse for doing the latter!
Or the argument that working too hard makes us tired, because it would be better to take a nap. I agree! But if for you “procrastination” is a code word for browsing reddit, maybe that habit is actually contributing to your lack of naps, and maybe even lack of regular sleep.
