Does a Consistent Sleep Schedule Really Matter?

Going to bed and waking up at the same times every day is one of the most powerful things you can do for sleep — often more than any product. Your body runs on an internal clock that thrives on regularity. When your schedule is consistent, your body learns when to feel sleepy and when to wake, so falling asleep and getting up both get easier.

The hardest part is keeping it steady on weekends. Sleeping in for hours on Saturday shifts your clock and can leave you wired Sunday night — sometimes called "social jet lag." You don't have to be rigid, but keeping wake time within about an hour day to day makes a real difference. Pair it with a consistent wind-down and the routine starts running itself.
