What Time Do You Go To Bed?

As I'm sure you already know, between eight and ten hours of sleep a night is recommended for most adults. But more importantly is the time you go to sleep and the time you wake up. The old saying ‘early to bed, early to rise, makes a person happy, healthy and wise’ has some real truth to it. We all have an internal biological clock that sets our days and nights into a cyclical rhythm, and is controlled by a series of hormones and external cues. (More about circadian rhythm).

Let's suppose you go to bed at 2am and wake at 10am. Now imagine a night when you go to sleep at 10 pm and wake at 6 am. Most of us know intuitively that when we sleep eight hours and wake at 6 am, we'll have more energy, more enthusiasm for the day ahead and more get-up-and-go. If on the other hand you go to sleep at 2am and wake at 10am, you're more likely to fell lethargic, un-rested and sluggish for most of the daylight hours. 

Generally speaking, earlier to bed is better for your body's preferred daily rhythm. How much earlier varies between each person, but a good rule of thumb is to shoot for a bedtime between 9 pm and 11 pm.
