A member asked:
Will a child grow if he sleeps late (2-3 am)? or does growth only happen earlier in the night (8-9 pm) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth and sleep: There is no study that correlates growth with sleep., what is known is that growth hormone levels rise during sleep.

During the week, I only seem to sleep in two 3-4 hour segments. Fall asleep around 11 pm, wake up at 3am, fall asleep at 3:30 to wake up at 6:30. Then I sleep from 7-9. Is that harmful?
