That'll just make you stressed.

So that's why I focus the regularity on the morning.

It's possible, but not everyone can.

And like maybe your wake-up time during the week is uncomfortably early and you want to sleep in on the weekends.

I got no problem with that.

Regularity is good, but like...

If it means you're getting a little bit of extra recovery on the weekends, it's a trade-off.

There might be a net positive there.

Right.

You'd think.

Unless they have insomnia.

And that assumes they're giving themselves permission to go to sleep at a time...

that is ideal for them.

A lot of people don't give themselves permission to go to sleep.

You know, we have this whole concept of revenge, bedtime procrastination, where you're only taking, you're taking revenge on your own day, right?

And your own resentment of your life being too full of junk and crap to have no time for yourself.

And it's tough.

And, and the way, the way I put it though, is I think you're cutting off your nose to spite your face at that point.

When people say,

I know I should be going to bed earlier, but you're asking me to give up the one hour in my day that's mine, that I need for my own mental health.
