Even if the duration of your sleep is okay, your sleep quality and hormonal alignment are affected when you sleep outside your natural circadian rhythm.
Late-night schedules:
Reduce exposure to morning sunlight, which resets alertness
Disrupt melatonin release timing
Alter cortisol peaks, making you feel sluggish
Affect neurotransmitters linked to focus and memory
Try these changes
Move bedtime 30–45 min earlier every 2–3 days until you reach ~11 PM–12 AM Wake up earlier accordingly Expose yourself to bright sunlight within 30 min of waking (15–20 min outdoor light)
Morning: bright light → helps wake brain
Night: dim lights after 9 PM, avoid screens/blue light at least 1 hr before sleep
If you must study late, use warm yellow lighting instead of white LED
For the next 1–2 months, you could use natural aids:
Green tea in morning (mild caffeine + L-theanine = calm alertness)
B-complex supplement (supports energy metabolism)
Ashwagandha (can improve mental stamina & stress handling — take in evening)
