In terms of quality sleep, I don't think there's any problems. But your internal sleep cycle will move forward, which will definitely make it harder to wake up in the morning on those days you NEED to wake up. Your body has a biological clock will think that 12pm is 9am, etc... which makes earlier times feel even earlier.

The ability of light to reset the biological clock depends on the phase response curve (to light). Depending on the phase of sleep, the light can advance or delay the circadian rhythm. The required illuminance varies from species to species, much lower light levels being required to reset the clocks in nocturnal rodents than in humans.

In addition to light intensity, wavelength (or color) of light is an important factor in the degree to which the clock is reset. Melanopsin is most efficiently excited by blue light (420-440 nm).[1]

Kind of depends on what you did from midnight on - Actually, people who work 3rd shift have a terrible time getting into a good sleep pattern. The best sleep routine is: same time to bed, same time up every day.

You can do it. But it could mess up your internal clock. Your body is able to keep track of time, when it gets messed up, your quality of sleep will be lowered. That's what happends with Jet-lag.

It is best to establish some type of schedule where you go to bed at reletively the same time each night to get the best sleep possible.

People who work nights and sleep during the day are working against their intenal clocks. They usaully require more sleep, and do not live as long as nightsleepers. This was proven in the late70's to early 80's.

Regular routines tend to be the best. That is why people who work shifts have more problems if they don't find ways to sleep at roughly the same time.

It is best to go to bed early and get your 8 hours. I know from experience plus that's what the experts say.

you get a better quality of sleep if you go to bed before 11p and get 7-8 hrs.

Eight hours is eight hours. If that's what is right for you and you get it, then you're fine.
However, not everyone needs eight hours. The amount you need depends on factors like activity, metabolism and age.

i think your mind has better rest when sleeping when there isnt light (night time), so when its dark outside when you sleep your supposed to feel more refreshed when you wake up


hope this helps!
