There is a general accepted "healthy pattern", but I think there more to it:

- not everyone has the same sleep patterns, and while it can usually be coherced, for some that doesn't work or has too many downsides.

- some people have straight sleep issues and, sleeping in 6-8h blocks doesn't help. "then fix the issues" could be the basic advice, but again, that's usually easier said than done, or has worse side effects.

In that respect I agree with parent that it would be nice if "weirs" work patterns were more accepted



Indeed I am night owl. I tried to accommodate myself to go to bad early sleep 8-9h, het up early. Nevertheless, I am energized and happy only when I can get up between 8-9 (Morning;)) Which usually contradicts the social and work expectations…
