Sleeping when your body tells you to sleep is the right way. Whether that’s early or late. Sleeping as long as you want to, during whatever hours you want to, is the healthiest sleep you can get.
Yes. Wait until you are sleepy to get in bed, then sleep until you wake up. Not “early to bed, early to rise makes you healthy and wealthy and wise.”. And exercise in the day, so you can get sleepy at night.
I have the luxury of doing this most days lately (am a diurnal person so sort of 23:00 to 7:00 or 8 more or less, feels best) and feel so much better. Not more energy necessarily but calmer energy.
On the original question, it always seems more like putting in some effort regularly makes everything easier. Lifting weights makes it easier to lift everyday items. Walking a lot makes it easier to walk somewhere comfortably. I don’t think that’s a bad system.
Sleeping is the right way, going to bed early is even righter.

But that works only if you don’t disturb your time perception by artificial light- like looking into a computer screen in the evening/night.
Which is great if you don’t have a job or school or kids or responsibilities to wake up early for!
Unfortunately my body says it’s tired around 3-5am every day. And I need to be awake at 7.
I’m saying it is society that is wrong, for forcing you to sleep at odd times.
Agreed, but this can only be a rule for people who are in touch with their bodies enough so they actually notice when it’s time to sleep.
For everyone who loves to binge series or similar behaviors, going to bed earlier is probably the better rule.
Fucking morning people, you guys are insufferable
Why do people want to binge tv late at night?
Because they are not tired. That is not the best time for them to sleep.
