Self-Regulation and Consumer Impatience
This research finds that self-regulation is an important source of intertemporal impatience. Five experiments show that performing self-regulation makes time more salient, thus time intervals are perceived as longer and impatience is increased. This also leads to time-related product features (e.g., speed) being perceived as more important.
