I think that might also be because of boredom. When there is nothing else to do people tend to do that.

For example, in a place I know they were struggling with not having enough electricity for the population. So each day there'd be no electricity for hours and hours. That resulted in a clear population boom after a few years. And went away after the power problem was solved.
