It is a sensible request but an absurd demand.
Unless we first institute livable wages with sane working hours and paid commute time along with free childcare.
So that survival does not demand that people abuse their bodies with lack of sleep.
agreeing that externalities like house work, parenting, commuting exist, have cost, and need to be considered in a viable economy could be a great step.
Doughnut economics is one such approach.
