People love to act like someone staying up until 3am and sleeping until noon is lazy but really, when you think about it, their sleep schedule is the exact same as someone a few timezones over.

Maybe east coast snoozers are actually just the pacific early risers that never got to be in the right part of the world.

Maybe all someone needs to fix their sleep schedule is a move west? The formulas arent complete but I’m refining my thesis.

    I think you’re agreeing with me, so let me rephrase: the sleep schedules we don’t align with could be due to a geographical misalignment in our circadian rhythm.

    If you live on central time and never get tired until 4am maybe your body is telling you that your natural state would be somewhere in Hawaii. The friction comes from people generally being scattered across the world in places that don’t agree with what their body feels should be the right time to go to bed.

    Does that make more sense? Go to sleep when your body tells you to, and then figure out where in the world that lines up with a “normal sleep schedule” you know what I mean?

      No need to rephrase, I understood perfectly. I am agreeing with you 100%, just adding my own reasons for why I hate it when people call you lazy for staying up late, and an example of how often time staying up late and sleeping in is actually the exact opposite of laziness.

        Hell yeah, we need someone to run the 7/11 overnight! /s

        To stay on brand: hire someone from Europe, and then nobody has to “stay up all night” lol
