ELI5, why is going to bed super late bad for you if you still get the same amount of sleep?

612 views

I’ve always wondered this, espeically over summer break or for those who work later but why is going to bed late bad for you if you still get the perfect amount of sleep?

For example, last night I wen’t to bed at like 1:30 AM and woke up at 10:30 am, which is 9 hours? So if I’m getting required sleep, how is it bad for me?

On the one hand this doesn’t matter at all. But in the other hand many people find they don’t get good quality sleep during daylight hours. This could be a factor. Working night shift is known to be detrimental to your health and rotating shifts worse again. But not everyone is affected. If you are not affected then nothing to worry about..
