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?
I have to get up for work at 3:00 a.m. I usually go to bed by 7:30 p.m., but on weekends, I may go to bed at 11:00 or 11:30 p.m. I still get 8 hours of sleep. Does this inconsistency affect my health?
