How does sleeping at sunrise and waking up in afternoon affect body?
Sleeping at sunrise or waking up in the afternoon disrupts the circadian rhythm. The body's natural 24-hour cycle controls sleep, hormone release, digestion and mood. "Chronic misalignment can lead to low immunity, weight gain, poor glucose control, and increased risk of heart disease," an expert said. It also raises likelihood of mood disorders and can impair memory, concentration and alertness.
