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

833 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?

your body works on a clock in tune with the sun cycle. at certain times of day your body does certain things, it does not run like a machine and do the same thing all day. at certain times the janitorial crew comes in and cleans the brain and at another time the crew comes in a cleans and repairs something else. it cannot do a proper job if you are out partying or playing on your phone. the most important thing you can do for your health is watch the sun come up every morning and stick as close to the sun cycle as possible.

if you want to go really far down the rabbit hole, then follow Dr. Jack Kruse. he’s a brain surgeon and as brilliant as a person can be.
