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?

Physician here… our bodies are amazingly adaptable and resilient – especially if you’re young which I assume you are. Even if all of the things people posted are true (and most of them are), one or two late nights will have absolutely no impact on your overall health. It’s repeated insults that cause long term health effects. If you want to stay up late on occasion over summer break, your health shouldn’t be the reason you don’t.
