New daily/weekly schedule based on tracking animals to exhaustion:

1) Walk for a day or two, with naps during afternoon heat. 2) Eat absolutely enormous meal. 3) Sleeeep. 4) Repeat.

"Go to bed" is useless advice. Some of us are unable to sleep longer than about 5 hours. Room darkening, white noise, complete silence, 8Sleep mattress pad, extended release melatonin, caffeine abstinence, going to bed later, going to bed earlier, nothing works. We just naturally wake up after 5 hours, no matter what, ready to go.

there’s always exceptions, but most people are capable of getting more, good sleep.

Not giving out generally useful advice just because an extremely small minority can’t use it is just silly. And giving it out is certainly useful to most people who hear it.

Just because you can’t use it, doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t give advice. There are other humans in existence.

Yea… um, also… I like sleeping. I find it a nice change of pace compared to the rest of my day.
