Naps. I sleep like 6-8 hours a night usually, and then I take a nap basically as soon as I get home. I find I have more functional time this way, even when I end up sleeping more than 9-10 hours, because I’m more refreshed and ready to go.

My problem isn’t the timing of my waking up but the sleep to awake ratio which is completely out of sync with the 24 hour day. My ex woke up after 5 hours of sleep and was completely fine. I can either sleep less (than my ideal 9 hours) and become a zombie for most of the day, or sleep enough and end up going to bed super late, because I also don’t feel sleepy as early once I sleep enough. I’m just from a different planet where days are 28-30 hours long, and this place is just a constant fight with being sleepy and having to wake up before I feel properly rested.

Funny thing is, that’s most humans. There were experiments done on circadian rhythms where people were put in dark rooms with no clocks or anything to tell time by, and their internal “day” stretched of it to 28-48 hours (depending on the case). So, everyone is from a different planet, some are just coping better

That’s interesting! I wonder how much it would change if they still had natural light available but without any responsibilities.

The day/night natural cycle would likely keep them synchronized, unless they already had issues keeping up with the standard 24 hour cycle
