In this brief segment, Gary Brecka challenges the common assumption that simply sleeping 7–8 hours guarantees optimal rest. He highlights recent research from the past two years indicating that the timing of sleep—and especially the day‑to‑day consistency of that timing—can be as important as total sleep duration for reaping the full physiological and cognitive benefits of sleep.
What if you're already sleeping 7 or 8 hours a night and you're still not getting the full benefit of that sleep? What if the number of hours isn't the only variable that matters? A series of major studies published in the last 2 years has brought a second variable into sharp focus. And it turns out this variable may be just as important as how long you sleep. That variable is when you sleep, specifically how consistent that timing is from day to day.
