Staying awake at night and sleeping during the day affects your natural body clock, and that negatively affects everything. Researchers from the Surrey Sleep Research Centre in England
disrupted the sleep patterns of 22 test subjects by letting them sleep at night the first day of the study and then forcing them to sleep from noon until 6:30 p.m. on the second and third days of the study. After taking blood samples, the doctors found gene activity to be impaired. According, to Everyday Health, "Genes carry the instructions for making proteins. Proteins make up just about every kind of chemical signal, hormone and tissue in the body... The timing of when proteins are made is important because their production should correspond to our behaviors." Therefore, 8 hours of sleep every NIGHT is essential.
