NAILING SLEEP REGULARITY
Most people obsess over how many hours they sleep…
Tracking apps, sleep scores, late-night panic when they’re “only getting 6h 12m.”
What almost nobody talks about is the second biggest driver of sleep quality: sleep regularity — going to bed and waking up at the same time daily.
That weekend sleep-in you think is helping? That’s called social jet lag — shifting your body clock forward and back like you’re flying across time zones every Friday and returning Monday. Hello Mondayitus.

Why Sleep Regularity Matters
• Your circadian rhythm runs on timing, not just duration
• Hormones like melatonin + cortisol release on a schedule, not on demand
• Irregular sleep confuses your brain’s sleep-wake signals
• Consistent timing strengthens deep sleep cycles
• Your body anticipates sleep when routine is stable
