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

588 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?

Consistency.

It’s better if you have a consistent sleep schedule in addition to sleeping enough.

If you are keeping it 1:30 AM – 10:30 AM all the time that’s fine, but it’s not as good if you do 11:00PM – 8:00AM some days, 2:00AM – 11:00AM other days, 5:00AM – 2:00PM on yet other days.
