You gotta listen to your body and take that powernap when you can (already made a previous comment about how the human body isn’t built to do strict wake-sleep cycles, it’s natural to have 2 separate sleeps in the same night, and historically people from early morning to noon since the sun is too harsh by then). I generally found taking a 15 minute nap after a meal is enough to get me through the rest of the day. Though it’s insane that corpos expect anything more than 60% effort after 2pm when most have been up since 6am.
Take your hours back, they won’t give it back to you.
I’m honestly thinking about trying a modified sleep schedule like that. No matter what at around 7pm I absolutely can’t keep my eyes open, and then get super awake between 9-10. So maybe I nap from 7-10 ish, then putter around from 10-4 or 5am, and then sleep from then till 10am. It works with my work schedule for the most part. Be an interesting experiment in any case.
Sounds good - it’s important to get those 8 hours and listening to your body (avoiding screens when you can during dark hours since that’ll fuck around your circadian rhythm).
Sometimes you can get away with 6 hours in total if you haven’t been overexerting yourself. I found that I slept like 9 -10 hours uninterrupted after exhaustive days but taking the naps and ensuring I have good sleep hygiene leads to me feel great with only 8 segemented sleep.
9 to 5 sucks ass.
