>Instead i care if i can get enough sleep, enough relaxing, enough studying, enough working to fullfill my life or not. And that's not a desire to "live well"? I think your objection is key to understanding Socrates' denial of "weakness of will" (Protagoras 358d), an idea that Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics actually supports (book seven - 1174b-15). Maybe norms are ultimately guidelines to the good life for groups of people based on past experience, but they can't possibly account for every contingency of any particular existence. Btw I don't think the idea is to justify any behavior, but to establish that from a rational perspective everybody is making decisions based on what seems right at the moment.
