I'm afraid that this suggestion is a bit glib and simplistic: there are people (my S.O. being one of them) who despite no alcohol, no artificial light after dinner and all doing "all the right things" still can't fall asleep before 2-3am, which then leads to 4- or 5-hour nights all week long. For them, catching up on the weekend is the only solution (albeit an imperfect one).

indeed many people are biologically wired to be "night owls"; it's a well established individual difference in the psychology literature:

I think we all agree that these people are the exception to the rule. Just like Elon Musk isn't your typical CEO or Terry A. Davis isn't your typical developer.

Rest in peace Terry Davis, the world wasn't ready for TempleOS.

Are they exercising?

You need activity/exercise for good sleep.

Yes they are (2x as much as me), and no you don't.
