The Importance of Sleep Consistency
Waking up at the same time every day is crucial for establishing a healthy sleep routine. Doing so helps set the body's internal clock, which influences melatonin production, and promotes better quality sleep. If a person varies their wake-up time, especially on weekends, it disrupts this cycle, leading to difficulties falling asleep at night and reduced sleep quality. Maintaining this consistency is essential for enhancing overall health and well-being.
