what it claims

Going to bed very late, even when sleeping enough hours, disrupts our internal clock (which regulates cortisol and melatonin) and generates fatigue.

This assertion is based on solid scientific foundations regarding chronobiology. The SHADES observational study (conducted by Michael Grandner's team) indeed shows that shifting the internal clock, or 'social jetlag,' is directly linked to increased fatigue, regardless of the total number of hours of sleep. Furthermore, clinical work conducted by Kenneth Wright's team confirms that circadian desynchronization disrupts the natural secretion of melatonin and cortisol. Nevertheless, research qualifies this observation based on the individual biological profile known as chronotype. For a person who is naturally a 'night owl,' sleeping on a shifted but regular schedule does not necessarily induce fatigue. It is primarily the irregularity of the rhythm and the misalignment with natural light cycles that cause this lack of energy.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence
B+

Linked to, not proven to cause.

Effect
all-cause mortality by Sleep Regularity Index quintile (UK Biobank, n=60,977) — 20-48% lower all-cause mortality in the top four SRI quintiles vs the least regular quintile; regularity a stronger predictor than duration
Measured on
middle-aged and older adults (mean ~63 y); social jetlag evidence spans younger adults

What’s uncertain

The mortality link is from cohort data (associational), so other healthy habits of regular sleepers could contribute. The takeaway — keep timing consistent — is safe and low-cost regardless.
