How can a regular sleep schedule with inconsistent hours of sleep be preferable to consistent 8 hours with inconsistent waking hours?

Question

I have an irregular schedule that allows me to sleep 8 hours a night should I so wish, but I go to sleep at different times each night. Does anybody know what will leave me feeling more rested and what will be better for muscles recovery? I work out frequently and know I need sleep to recover, but everybody around me tells me to wake up at the same time each day despite how late I go to sleep.

In: 8

Answer 1

Human mind like routine. Those people are telling you that because “Well uhhh… That’s what you’re supposed to do!” while your body has no idea when you went to sleep and when you woke up. As long as you get 8 hours and it doesn’t affect your personal life just go for it.
