Sleep Consistency Over Duration
Sleep isn’t only about how many hours you get.
Research shows that consistent sleep and wake times help regulate circadian rhythms, which influence sleep quality, hormone release, energy levels, and metabolic function. Irregular sleep schedules can disrupt these rhythms—even when total sleep hours appear adequate.
This means
:• Going to bed and waking at similar times matters
• Sleep timing helps the body anticipate rest and wakefulness
• Quality and regularity influence how restorative sleep feels
Duration still matters, but consistency helps the body use sleep more effectively.
Beginner functional approach:
Aim for a regular sleep and wake window most days of the week—even on weekends—while allowing flexibility for real life.
Functional wellness supports rhythms, not rigid perfection.
