An erratic sleep schedule may age your organs faster

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Treating your bedtime like a randomized lottery wheel is aging you from the inside out. Circadian misalignment occurs when you constantly shift your sleep schedule, causing your internal clocks to fall out of sync. This chronic confusion impairs cellular repair, increases oxidative stress, and actively accelerates the biological aging process of your heart, liver, and kidneys.
