sleep timing

Sleep timing refers to the schedule when you go to bed and wake up, shaping your body's natural rhythms. It is influenced by your internal biological clock, known as the circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep-wake cycles over roughly 24 hours. Consistent sleep timing helps maintain optimal alertness, mood, and health by aligning your sleep patterns with natural light and daily routines. Irregular or misaligned sleep timing can disrupt these cycles, leading to sleep difficulties and other health issues. Establishing a regular sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same times, supports restorative sleep and overall well-being.
