The Hidden Cost of Social Jet Lag

You might be experiencing "jet lag" every single week, even if you never leave your home.

It’s a phenomenon called social jet lag, and it happens when there’s a significant

mismatch between your sleep schedule on workdays and your days off. For many of us,

waking up much earlier than we’d prefer during the week and then sleeping in on weekends creates

a chronic state of circadian misalignment. This constant shifting isn't just about feeling groggy on

a Monday; there is growing evidence that this mismatch contributes to the development of cardiometabolic

disorders and may even increase the risk of certain cancers. We explore the long-term

impact of social jet lag in our latest episode. Catch the full story on the podcast.
