9 to 5 sucks ass.

You gotta listen to your body and take that powernap when you can (already made a previous comment about how the human body isn't built to do strict wake-sleep cycles, it's natural to have 2 separate sleeps in the same night, and historically people from early morning to noon since the sun is too harsh by then). I generally found taking a 15 minute nap after a meal is enough to get me through the rest of the day. Though it's insane that corpos expect anything more than 60% effort after 2pm when most have been up since 6am.

Take your hours back, they won't give it back to you.

I’m honestly thinking about trying a modified sleep schedule like that. No matter what at around 7pm I absolutely can’t keep my eyes open, and then get super awake between 9-10. So maybe I nap from 7-10 ish, then putter around from 10-4 or 5am, and then sleep from then till 10am. It works with my work schedule for the most part. Be an interesting experiment in any case.

Sounds good - it's important to get those 8 hours and listening to your body (avoiding screens when you can during dark hours since that'll fuck around your circadian rhythm).

Sometimes you can get away with 6 hours in total if you haven't been overexerting yourself. I found that I slept like 9 -10 hours uninterrupted after exhaustive days but taking the naps and ensuring I have good sleep hygiene leads to me feel great with only 8 segemented sleep.

Maybe it's because you are on the west coast?

This always happened to me after lunch which, inconveniently but hilariously, was when my supervisor scheduled group meetings. What a fight to stay awake lol.

That was probably his way to fight his own drowsiness 😆

Now someone edit this comic so it's The Sandman from ECW knocking his ass out with a kendo stick.

Just before 3PM was when I would go round the office, load a tumbler with coffee dredges from all the machines and an 1/8 cup of sugar. GO TIME! Yes, that got me a fat-assed beer belly, fast, but I was awake!
