In the quiet debate between early risers and late sleepers, science gently reminds us that the clock on the wall is less important than the rhythm within the body. Experts from the worlds of yoga and medicine converge on a single, ancient truth: it is not the hour of waking that restores the nervous system, but the depth and consistency of the rest that precedes it. The question of five o'clock versus seven is, in the end, a question about whether we are listening to our own nature or performing someone else's ideal.
