Having a regular bedtime is extremely good for you
Photo: Debrocke/ClassicStock/Getty Images It has come to my recent attention that not every adult goes to bed at roughly the same time every night. Why, I can’t say.
Not only is a regular bedtime just about the most enjoyable habit available to us living things, but it is extremely good for us.
While the researchers acknowledge that their study only shows an association between irregular sleep and cardiometabolic risk, it’s likely that irregular sleep contributes to other patterns which may also result in health problems, like reduced physical activity and increased perceived stress and depression.
The good news is that the human body likes routine, and if you can get yourself to get in bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time every morning, your body should start to adjust accordingly. And yes, that includes weekends — sleeping in two or three hours later on a Sunday is going to make it harder to meet your new bedtime that night. But that doesn’t mean you need to start a strict 9 p.m.–5 a.m. sleep schedule, though that is what I do and I highly recommend it.
