"Go to bed at a good time" is not a good solution for someone whose body structurally just doesn't work that way. It'll always be worse than going to bed according to what is natural for you.

There's no "natural" rhytm that says that some people have to be late morning persons, the only provable circadian rhythm is in accordance with morning light. There's nothing that forces people to sleep between 1 am and 9 am UDM time, it's all adapment. This is the equivalent of modern fat americans claiming their body just structurally don't work with veggies.

  But changing that adaptation is super had. My internal clock doesn't go backwards, the only way for me to wake up earlier is go the other way round the clock and that takes weeks. Then one staying late and I'd have to do it all over again

So every other animal on earth falls into a rythmic cycle but we don't ? I mean you have free will of course. You can choose to make your lifestyle be waking up at 12am and falling asleep at 4am. That choice should be anyone's to take, just like smoking, drinking, and anything else. However, we should give out a default guideline of what an average day cycle is so people can cling on to that when they disregulate and things go south. I will assert - the sun rises at 6-8am, and our society should align with that. It also sets at 5-8pm. We should also align with that. There will be outliers, and pleasing everyone is not an option. But we need to take in account the natural cycles of our environment. As that is the one thing we certainly cannot influence.

  I don't know who needs to be told this, but human circadian rhythms vary considerably from person to person. Some are very early, some are as late as a literal owl. Telling them to follow the sun will be about as successful as telling an actual owl that it's sleeping at the winyg time and needs to hunt during the day like the rest of the birds.

    Theres also quite a few cases of people who don't naturally fall into a 24 hr rhythm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-24-hour_sleep%E2%80%93wake_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-24-hour_sleep%E2%80%93wake...

  > So every other animal on earth falls into a rythmic cycle but we don't ? Human brains, lifespans and experiences are mind bogglingly more sophisticated than the next animal on the list. There is nothing in the animal kingdom remotely as complex as our civilization on this planet, why would you generalise like this?
