Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration

I had that my entire life, and then one day started having the strangest medical condition where it is literally impossible to sleep past ~6:30am.

It sounds unbelievable but you’d have to experience it to understand. But the end result is it “fixed” the delayed sleep issue.

I’d give just about anything to be able to just sleep and keep sleeping, but on the up side now I’m an early bird with extreme regularity and quite like it.

It's it really? What if you go to bed at 6am? Will you really still wake up 30 mins later?

I might be ruining the joke, but are you talking about kids?
