This is what happens to the body when you sleep until noon every day for 6 months

According to Dr Agarwal, if you still get a healthy total sleep time (7–9 hours) but simply go to bed very late, you may experience social jetlag (difficulty aligning with daytime obligations), reduced morning alertness, and poorer concentration in typical daytime hours.

Sleeping well helps the body recover, regulates hormones, and makes your skin glow.

Chronic late schedules can reduce morning light exposure, which weakens circadian entrainment and can worsen mood, increase fatigue, and raise the risk of depressive symptoms. Changes in eating and activity patterns — more nighttime snacking, less daytime exercise — can promote weight gain, insulin resistance, and altered appetite hormones. “Some studies link long or irregular sleep to low-grade inflammation and higher cardiovascular risk, though causality is complex,” said Dr Agarwal.

According to the expert, you might also have lower vitamin D levels due to less daytime sun, strained social relationships, or work difficulties, and trouble maintaining routines. “If sleeping until noon represents excessive sleep (hypersomnia) or is accompanied by persistent low mood, excessive daytime sleepiness, or impaired functioning, see a healthcare professional,” said Dr Agarwal.

What can help you?

Focus on lifestyle. Modest weight loss if overweight, regular aerobic and resistance exercise, a balanced diet low in refined carbs, and smoking cessation. Countermeasures such as morning light exposure, daytime exercise, and good sleep hygiene are extremely beneficial, along with a balanced diet and adequate hydration.
