When you sleep, you enter a phase called REM, or ‘Rapid Eye Movement’. It’s that point in your sleep where your body essentially reorganizes the messy clutter in your brain to, amongst other things, store memories. This is the deepest point of your rest, so you need time to rise to a light sleep before you wake up in the morning.
**So,** if you go to bed too late, your body won’t have enough time to get back to that light sleep mode and you’re left waking up sort of groggy or hit the snooze button. Your brain isn’t ready to be active for another 12 hours, so it’s sort of switched off.
