Employers regularly fail to understand that good sleep to a Millennial is like a freaking Unicorn--the human circadian rhythm is fragile enough as it is; it is Very easy to break while Damn Near Impossible to realign.
Sleep is a basic physical need on-par with breathing air and drinking water, but it takes a lot of things working in alignment to both achieve and maintain it (namely, for the vast majority: your brain/body isn't actively ducking with you, there are no external threats or emotional burdens barring you from it, and nobody/nothing around you is causing too much noise).
Additionally, to regularly reset hours means encroaching on hours normally used for sleeping at either the head or tail end of one's natural sleep cycle, which means an automatic reset by your internal clock and losing those additional hours (instead of just moving them around. Sleep doesn't work that way.)
Most of us cannot *force* ourselves to go to sleep earlier than we're used to, and it is impossible to *catch up* on sleep once you have lost it or been prematurely ripped from it.
The sooner these facts are incorporated into policy and labor regulations, the sooner we will have one more win for humane working conditions. Working an excessively inconsistent schedule is cruel and unnecessary.
