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?

ELI5 answer: Basically your brain likes patterns and when you disrupt that pattern it doesn’t know what to do and so, for a time, it loses track of what it’s supposed to do until you get it back on track or it finally adapts to the new schedule. Either way though keeping the pattern is key.
It’s all about doing things on a schedule. Your body gets used to certain timings and will be thrown off if you’re not consistent with it. The top guy saying you have a natural cycle is right, but I’ve also heard you can change that schedule if you do the transition right.
