A member asked:
Are there any downsides to constantly going to bed late, but getting enough sleep?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Just that your parents will get on your case and you might do poorly if your school or work schedule requires waking up early.

Yes: This is a bad habit which distorts your normal hormonal rythym. This will mess up thyroid, cortisol and all hormonal processes leading to chronic degenerative disease and premature aging.
