Why does it feel like time that I go to sleep matters more than hours I’m asleep for?

This might just be me and not a scientific answer for this sub, but it feels like when I go to sleep late, I will be more tired than if I had gotten fewer hours but slept earlier, regardless of how many hours I sleep for. Is there some sort of known phenomenon to explain this, or is this just something that happens to me?

Your body has a natural pattern of wakefulness and restfulness. Sleeping when your body thinks it should sleep tends to feel more restful even if you cant sleep quite long enough.
