I have heard often that the hours you sleep before 12 AM are extra important, so for example it is better to sleep from 22:00 until 6:00 than to sleep from 0:00 until 8:00. In order to specify the question, just compare sleeping from 10PM to sleeping from 12AM. What is the scientific consensus on this?

Here is an example of a source.

I have also found an academic article, which researches the correlation between sleeping onset time and cardiovascular disease; here is a link.

I think you mean "12am", 12pm is noon. – quant Jun 09 '22 at 11:14
Thanks @quant, I changed it – Riemann Jun 10 '22 at 15:21

Note that the study you cited says going to sleep before 10:00 pm also increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease, so the blogger's blanket statement that before midnight is healthier may be wrong. – Carey Gregory Jun 10 '22 at 22:14
Good point, Carey Gregory. I will modify the question – Riemann Jun 12 '22 at 17:31
