I get what you are saying too, but it is privileged to assume people can "just" unbind their natural cycle.

It's like telling someone who is lactose intolerant to "just" eat their cereal with milk.

I'm not saying anything about your schedule. You do you.

What I am saying is adding another layer of stress and yet another thing to optimize on top of all that does nothing but make it worse.

In terms of the analogy you gave: I'm not saying drink milk, I'm saying stop worrying about it and drink oat milk. Spend that energy elsewhere in your life in things that are more easily effected by your efforts.

I think I agree with what you’re saying - adding systems on top of something that doesn’t need it isn’t worth it. I agree; however, some folks can’t “just” follow their natural tiredness to manage their sleep.
