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

803 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?

overall 5am to 10:30am you’re not actually getting good rest unless you’ve got the right environment.

Even w/ blackout shades light sneaks around corners, neighbors run lawn mowers, cars honk their horns, birds tweet. Unless you’ve managed to shutout all stimuli you’re not getting the same quality of sleep you would on a quiet night.
