Yes. Wait until you are sleepy to get in bed, then sleep until you wake up. Not “early to bed, early to rise makes you healthy and wealthy and wise.”. And exercise in the day, so you can get sleepy at night.
I have the luxury of doing this most days lately (am a diurnal person so sort of 23:00 to 7:00 or 8 more or less, feels best) and feel so much better. Not more energy necessarily but calmer energy.
On the original question, it always seems more like putting in some effort regularly makes everything easier. Lifting weights makes it easier to lift everyday items. Walking a lot makes it easier to walk somewhere comfortably. I don’t think that’s a bad system.
Sleeping is the right way, going to bed early is even righter.

Agreed, but this can only be a rule for people who are in touch with their bodies enough so they actually notice when it’s time to sleep.
For everyone who loves to binge series or similar behaviors, going to bed earlier is probably the better rule.

Which is great if you don’t have a job or school or kids or responsibilities to wake up early for!
Unfortunately my body says it’s tired around 3-5am every day. And I need to be awake at 7.

But that works only if you don’t disturb your time perception by artificial light- like looking into a computer screen in the evening/night.
Correct
