Extensive study has been made in psychology that shows the importance of delayed gratification in cognitive health.
Morality has the notion of temptation as a central theme, and their rules are designed to create conditions and incentives that avoid them.
As such it should be a well-understood by anyone with a brain if they would like to operate it with any degree of proficiency.
Temptation and Delayed Gratification are two sides to the same coin. With Temptation you eschew short-term pleasure to avoid negative consequences in the future (usually addiction). With Delayed Gratification you do the same in order to obtain a greater reward.
The manosphere is rather obsessed with this topic so if you research it be careful not to go down the wrong rabbit hole.
