I recently changed my sleep schedule from going to sleep at 6 am to waking up at 6 am. I've felt sick the last couple of days since I started this. Can a change in sleep schedule induce this?

Define feeling sick.

Are you getting the same amount of sleep as you did before, just with changed times ? How long have you been on your old schedule ? Could be your body needs to adapt, but i am not sure.

I know that if i go from sleeping 8 hours to only 6 hours i feel exhausted, i wouldnt call it sick though, just really tired

Could also be you just coincidentally caught a cold at the same time.

What I've heard is that it takes 1 day to adjust your sleep schedule 1 hour. You adjusted yours by 12 hours therefore it should take about 12 days to fully adjust. Its completely normal that you aren't feeling well a couple days after shifting your sleep schedule this much.

I've been there and felt sick for three weeks. It was worth it though!
