In today’s always-connected world, sleep often takes a backseat. Many stay up late, disrupting their circadian rhythm—the body’s natural clock. This affects health and functioning, no matter how long we sleep. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist, sees more patients with symptoms tied to poor sleep habits. He emphasizes that when you sleep is just as important as how much. Sleeping past midnight can disrupt hormones, slow digestion, and harm brain health. Sleep is essential for body repair, hormone regulation, and clearing brain waste. Research shows consistent bedtimes—especially before midnight—lower the risk of heart disease and boost immunity and mental well-being. Late nights also increase hunger hormones, leading to weight gain, cravings, and emotional imbalances like anxiety and depression. To feel your best, aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep and stick to a regular sleep schedule. Your body and mind will thank you
