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

604 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?

It has been scientifically proven that working night jobs/shifts and sleeping from 10am-6am leads to high blood pressure/hypertension.

Daytime sleeping is inherently less restful for non-nocturnal animals. And we are in every way that counts still animals.
