Methods: The Chinese version of BPS was developed by translation, back-translation, and cultural adjustment from December 2019 to January 2020, a total of 220 students were selected from a college in Guangzhou by convenient sampling method, and 200 questionnaires were collected availably. The rate of effective response was 90.1%, and 14 out of the 200 were retested two weeks later. Using critical ratio method and correlation analysis to evaluate the scale. Using internal consistency Cronbach’s α coefficient and retest reliability to measure the reliability of the scale.Using content validity and confirmatory factor analysis to test the validity of the scale. Results: The internal consistency and retest reliability of the scale were analyzed in this study, the results showed that Cronbach’s α was 0.887, and met the standard of >0.8. It was shown that the scale had a good consistency. The students were retested 2 weeks later, and the retest reliability was 0.825. It was suggested that the model fitting was good, indicating that the Chinese version of BPS had good construct validity. Conclusions: The Chinese version of BPS has good reliability and validity, it can be used to evaluate the status of bedtime procrastination in college students.
