2. Weekends have different bedtimes
Consistency is the key to your body’s performance. It needs consistency to function smoothly. When you decide to stay up late on a weekend and go out with friends for drinks, this can cause problems.
The same goes for sleeping in or waking up later. The majority of people compensate for lost sleep during the week on weekends. You can’t sleep on Sunday if you follow your normal weekday schedule. These irregularities may disrupt your sleep cycle, causing long-term damage.
This phenomenon is called “social jet-lag” by sleep doctors, as your body has to switch between two time zones per week. This can disrupt your biological cycle, causing potential health risks. This can lead to anxiety, stress, headaches, grogginess, crankiness, and even depression. It also makes you lazy.
