You don’t know many full time workers who struggle with sleep?
Sometimes I find myself awake and alert after 4 hours of sleep. Now when I crash some hours later after that, I sleep for a couple more hours and work more after instead of suffering through meetings and commute without break. I no longer use an alarm and let myself wake naturally. If I'm incapacitated from insomnia, I do housework or rest and work as my energy returns. Employers have no tolerance for this kind of flexibility beyond some isolated incidents. Yes I work with others too, this doesn't only work for lone wolf arrangements.
I'll add that I also suffer from RSI and the same applies there: if I injure my hands, I can make my own decision to use them less for some time to give them the rest they need, and shift what sort of work I do or how I spend my time meanwhile to accommodate (because I don't have rigidly defined role expectations as wage earners do).
