I feel really good with a sleep rhythm going to bed later each day and getting up later the next day.

I think many people do the same sort of thing, and then monday -- they have to cut their sleep short to get up early and sync with the rest of the world.

I can see how this would be the stressor you allude to.

It's so much better going to sleep and waking up the same time every day.

The only problem is it's often incompatible with a social life when you're in your 20s, but thankfully I'm not in my 20s anymore.

This is because our circadian rhythms are naturally found to be about 25 hours absent external stimuli or timekeeping devices.
