Why sleeping from 2 to 10 am may not be enough
Experts warn that sleeping from 2 am to 10 am may not provide the same restorative benefits as aligning sleep with the body's natural circadian rhythm. Dr. Harish Chafle, a sleep disorders specialist, explains that while eight hours of sleep is essential, the timing significantly impacts sleep quality and hormonal balance. Disruption of melatonin and cortisol levels from late sleeping can lead to increased appetite and altered metabolism, highlighting the importance of sleep timing for overall health.
