Is sleeping early better for you?

It works for me but I am a morning person.  Other people are not morning people so it is a bit complicated for them!  It depends on your personal clock.

Don't worry about the number of hours you're sleeping; think about how you feel in the morning, as well as how easily you get tired as the day goes on.  If you're comfortable with your level of energy, then that's the right amount of sleep for you.  And of course, it can change depending on how physically & mentally active you are.  In addition, the average person needs less sleep as they get older.

usually, the more you sleep, the more tired you are, the more sleepy... but if you have been staying up late or working hard this week or so, i think your body is still trying to recharge, try to get some rest, not sleep, this afternoon (because the week-end is still far). a hot bath, some relaxing music, a light healthy meal, then sleep 7 hours, and tomorrow morning, with a healthy breakfast, you will be fresher than ever!!

Five keys to optimal sleep\n\n# Rise and shine. Spending a few minutes in the early morning sun helps your biological clock align itself with the cycles of nature. Bright morning light stimulates the release of serotonin, the hormone of wakefulness, and helps the brain reduce levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone.\n\n# Have your evening meal early. Finish your evening meal by 6 or 6:30 p.m. so your body's digestive processes can be at rest when you go to bed. If you need to change your meal times earlier in the day to do this, then work backward accordingly.\n\n# Go to bed at 10 p.m. Your body was designed to sync with the cycles of nature -- including daylight and darkness -- with the optimal time for sleep falling between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. If you're in the habit of staying up much later than 10 p.m., begin getting up progressively earlier by a few minutes each morning, over several days. This will make it easier to go to bed earlier in the evening until you reach your target.\n\n# Reduce stimulants. If you find it difficult to get to sleep around 10 p.m., try cutting stimulants out of your diet -- particularly caffeine products like coffee, chocolate and black tea -- even in the morning. These take a long time to be eliminated from your body, and their effects can linger into the evening.\n\n# Quiet your mind. If your body is tired but your mind is active, try meditation or prayer. But don't make it hard work; use a simple and gentle form, such as repetition of a thought or phrase, or just focus on following your breath in and out. Relaxation music is another excellent way to soothe an anxious or active mind.

The time of day is not as important as the exercise itself.  \n\nI have read studies and the most recent being that there are benefits for each time of the day.\n\nMorning, for obvious reasons will get you energized for the day.   Evening has been said to cause insomnia, but NOT for all because studies have actually shown that it helps you sleep better.\n\nI am an avid cross-trainer and have done all different times of the day.  I do prefer routine, just to get it in, but I see an overall benefit and am not affected negatively at any time.

Hello.  Sleeping from 8am to 6pm means you are sleeping a good number of hours, the only aspect that could be considered as negative would be that your falling asleep at 8am, and not earlier.\n\nI have experienced this before, often during the holidays and I could have sworn I would never escape it, but I did.  I believe that this is mostly a bad cycle that is difficult to get out of.  \n\nI find the best solution is to break the cycle by force.  I would force myself to wake up at the hour I wish to wake up at (10am for example) and even if I had slept only 2 hours I would wake up and get out of bed.  Having slept so little it will be easier to fall asleep earlier the next night, and when you wake up the next morning, you will have slept several hours and should feel more rested.\n\nIts also worth noting that sleeping 10 hours during the day does not have the same rest and recovery effect on your mind and body as does sleeping during night hours.  So while it is difficult, it is worth trying to make the effort to get your body used to sleeping 'normal' hours even if it's difficult at first and takes a couple of sleepless nights to achieve.\n\nRight now I don't have this problem because my job requires me to wake up at 6am so I have had no choice but to get my body used to sleeping at 11pm (even though it was not easy at first).  Nonetheless when I'm on holiday, I automatically start falling asleep later and waking up later, and when the holidays end I have to adapt quickly.\n\nGood luck!

Yes but if you keep hitting the snooze button then you are losing energy for the day. Set your alarm for the latest time you can get up. Hope this helps!!!!!

The best time of day for me is at night, that is when I come alive. I am more of a night person. I hate the afternoons as that is when I feel down. I do get down at nights but don't get me wrong it is not as bad as the afternoons by far. I sleep my mornings away as I am up so late at night.

of course it is!  Any exercise is better than no exercise.  A good workout a couple hours before bedtime might help you sleep better too!

No cause then my work would probably make me work more hours and I am too tired to work more hours than I am doing now. Course if I could sleep longer it might have an advantage!

I used to always sleep in. Then I went into hospital and got used to waking early. In fact I didn't sleep at all much. I was so tired when I got home I went to bed at 9pm and got up at 9pm. Now I go to bed at 11pm or 12 and get up at 8:45am - I seem better for it. I get breakfast too. I'm still like a zombie all morning of course - but manage to get stuff done after lunch better. I hope that helps. Try it. If you don't feel better after a week I'll refund your money.

It depends on what time of the day it is. if it is in the evening before I go to bed it relaxes me and I sleep good. If it is during the day it gives me a lift to get going and doing things. I really like it before I fall asleep. I sleep very well when that is the last thing I do before I go to bed.

Only benefit is that there may be a job opening. Disadvantages are that your sleep patterns are disrupted. Study after study show that humans are meant to sleep at night and be up during the daylight hours. No amount of conditioning can change that. It leads to accidents and really weird personality disorders. However, if it is what you have to do...

I wish I had your problem!  Ever since college, I've had a heck of a time getting to bed before midnight and getting up any time before 9 AM.  Stay with your earlier bedtime,  it will keep things more focused and happy as time goes on.
