According to scientists, going to bed and getting up early is the most physiological way, allowing the nervous system to recover as much as possible and be the most productive during the day.
Why is it bad to go to bed late
The fact is that the regeneration of internal organs and systems occurs during the deep sleep phase - from 23:00 to 03:00.
If a person goes to bed later - even at midnight, one or two in the morning - he loses the ability to recover. In this case, the duration of sleep outside the deep phase does not matter.
In addition, only after 10 p.m. does a sleeping person produce melatonin, a sleep hormone responsible for biorhythms.
During night wakefulness, melatonin is not synthesized, and its deficiency leads to neurogenic, endocrine, and autonomic disorders. Therefore, somnologists recommend going to bed no later than 11 p.m.
Lack of prolonged sleep worsens metabolic processes in the body, so if going to bed late is your lifestyle, then you risk gaining weight 2 times faster, even if the rest of your behavior is absolutely the same.
Increased fatigue. Even if you sleep 8 hours after going to bed at 3 a.m., your body may not feel rested due to disruption to your normal sleep rhythm.
