Episode 230- Why Sleep from 10 PM to 6 AM Heals You—But 1 AM to 9 AM Might Hurt You


Listen Later

Episode Summary: Are you sleeping enough but still exhausted, anxious, or gaining weight? The issue might not be how long you're sleeping—but when. In this episode, Shana explains why the circadian timing of your sleep is critical for hormone balance, metabolism, and adrenal health.

Discover how getting to bed by 10 PM supports the natural flow of cortisol, melatonin, insulin, and leptin, and why late-night sleep (even if it's 8 hours) can disrupt your hormonal repair cycles.
