    Them: “I just wake up at 4 a.m. naturally and can’t seem to sleep in!”

    Also them: “Have you tried to bed and waking up earlier? All it takes is practice!”

      I mean honestly yeah after working multiple jobs for years I had to wake up around 4 to be able to get off work around 2 to make it to my second job at 3 now even though I have a single job I still get up at 4 it’s just ingrained at this point, thr benefit is I still get off at 230 and if people want me to stay past that at least it’s over time pay

        As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn’t kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don’t seem to want to though.

        I have spent the last two decades being absolutely miserable because I have to get up at 6 a.m. and my body has never adjusted. No, it doesn’t matter how long I sleep, if I get up before 8 a.m. then no amount of sleep is going to make me feel rested.

        When I take vacations and get up around 8:00 then I feel fine all day.
