RHR: Why Your Sleep Schedule Matters As Much As Duration

Описание: In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, Chris challenges the conventional focus on sleep duration and makes the case that sleep timing and circadian alignment matter just as much—if not more—than total hours slept. Drawing on new research, he explains how circadian disruption underlies poor sleep quality, chronic fatigue, and a wide range of mental health conditions, even in people who appear to be doing everything “right.” He explains why light exposure, sleep-wake consistency, and meal timing are the primary drivers of restorative sleep, why adolescents are uniquely vulnerable to sleep-related mental health risks, and shares practical strategies to improve sleep naturally and when supplements may be helpful.

In this episode we discuss:
--Why sleep-circadian disturbances are the rule—not the exception—in mental health
--The “wired and tired” pattern and what actually causes it
--Why sleep duration alone is an incomplete metric of sleep health
--The top drivers of sleep quality
--Why adolescents are biologically wired to stay up later and why early school start times are harmful
--Practical circadian interventions for adults and teens
--When and how supplements can support circadian alignment and nervous system regulation
