If we try to ignore our lack of sleep or even the timing of our sleep, if it's wildly inconsistent or if it's just really misaligned with what our bodies naturally want to do, then we end up not only not functioning at our best, but we also end up putting ourselves on the back leg in terms of our health in the long run.

So we can have higher blood pressure, for example, and have more risk that's added or more risk that's accumulating towards heart disease. So, for example, we know that people who don't sleep enough and people whose sleep timing is very inconsistent,

If we look at them 10 years later, 15 years later, they're more likely to have heart disease, more likely to have cancer, more likely to have had some sort of fatal health event, or just to have passed away. So these cumulative types of health risks can add up really over the years.
