This is a neologism with little to no reliable sources. This was previously an uncontested prod that no one bothered with for 6 months.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Its a medical term, now being commonly used. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Use is becoming common, if article is not going to be expanded it can be redirected to some different one. Have you got any idea? SamuelDay1 (talk) 04:54, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to sleep hygiene. "Junk sleep" is not accepted medial terminology nor is it widely used by healthcare staff, although it does appear to be a term that has received some media coverage (and I can see that it is a catchy phrase, such as would appeal to journalists).

Merge as an obviously colloquial reference to a topic we cover much better elsewhere, as noted above. Guy (Help!) 17:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge fad neologism, better covered in the encyclopedic article on the subject which deals with it, Sleep hygiene. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
