Understanding Sleep Consistency

Sleep consistency is defined as the proximity of today's bedtime to yesterday's and today's wake time to yesterday's. This consistency is crucial for regulating the circadian rhythm, impacting various bodily functions like digestion and hormone production. Higher sleep consistency correlates with fewer gastrointestinal issues, improved mood, and better skin health, demonstrating that the body operates more efficiently with a regular sleep schedule. By stabilizing sleep-wake cycles, individuals can enhance their overall health and performance.
