Slept 7 Hrs — Felt Worse (Timing Was Wrong)

Seven hours sleep. Felt rougher than when I slept six. That's when I realised duration wasn't the problem.

📊 *My sleep consistency data (300+ nights tracked):*

Bedtime: 10pm ±1 hour, 7 days/week
Wake time: 6am ±30 min
Duration: 7–8 hours most nights
Result: HbA1c dropped 46→37, inflammation near-zero, energy 8–9/10

Prof. Debra Skene, Section Lead of Chronobiology at the University of Surrey (190+ publications), says circadian rhythm mismatch increases risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease. Shift workers. Social jet lag. Late meals.

Your body has multiple clocks — brain, liver, pancreas, muscles. When those clocks don't sync with the environment, metabolic chaos follows.

Consistency beats perfection. Same bedtime, same wake time, weekdays and weekends. That's what Prof. Skene's research shows matters most.
