Napping and Exercise
Naps can enhance your daily performance, but timing is crucial—avoid napping after 4:00 PM and keep naps under 90 minutes. Exercising earlier in the day, particularly before noon, can significantly shift your sleep schedule, helping you feel more alert and improving cognitive and physical performance. This research underscores the importance of consistent sleep and wake times, along with strategic exposure to sunlight and meal timing, to optimize your overall well-being.In this clip

I've been sleeping consistently for the past week, going to bed between 8:30 and 10 PM and waking up between 5:30 and 7 AM, aiming to get 7-9 hours of sleep. Normally, I sleep around 8:30/9:30 PM and wake up around 4/4:30/5 AM. Tonight, I have to stay up until 2 AM for a lab shift. What time should I wake up? Should I prioritize consistency in wake times and wake up at 5 AM to get back into a rhythm, or do I sleep in? What would Andrew Huberman tell me to do?
If I have a consistent sleeping schedule from 22:00 to 06:00 but occasionally go to bed at 23:30, is it better to extend my sleep schedule to 07:30 to get 8 hours of sleep, or to still wake up at 06:00 with only 6 hours and 30 minutes of sleep?
Did Andrew Huberman suggest that it is better to take a nap during the day than to sleep in if going to bed late, and that it's important to get up at the same time each day in the episode Sleep Toolkit: Tools for Optimizing Sleep & Sleep-Wake Timing | Huberman Lab Podcast #84 and the clip Sleep Consistency Tips?
