Without clocks I will naturally go to bed between 5a and 7a and wake between 1 and 3p. I've had a "normal" schedule for most of my life, and have gone long stretches (months) where I was in bed every night by 10p. It doesn't stick. Without alarms and diligence, I will always revert to my natural schedule within days.
- oh_sigh 8y agoSure, that's fine. It doesn't need to stick, because clocks will continue to be available. I'd rather be employable and have to use a clock to wake up, than unemployable but in a 'natural' state(to use the false dichotomy presented by OP) Also, I'm curious what your natural bedtime would be if you not only removed clocks, but also removed TVs, screens and other artificial lighting. It seems unfair to say you would do something 'naturally' without clocks, but not without all the other technology that is actually causing you to stay awake at non-natural hours in the first place.
