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.

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.

ymmv but I found walking around, having some water, and doing something menial task (cleaning up the room or dishes) and actively avoiding screens usually leads me to feel sleepy after 15-30 minutes..

Humans aren't really designed for full 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep (nor 16 hours of full wakefulness but I'm fortunate enough that I can take naps in the afternoon) so don't be hard on yourself if one happens to wake up in the middle of the night. It's natural (like afternoon naps).The biggest issue is screens/activities that are designed to keep you alert and a societal lifestyle that demands a strict wake-sleep cycle.

May I ask what use cases you experience that lead you to hate it? It only seems to be an "issue" when I'm on my phone in bed on my side, which is a bad habit to have, that this indirectly discourages.

It's probably the most accessible anime I openly recommend. It's well-animated,, strong visual identity, simple premise, unique setting for an anime, and an excellent adaptation of the comedy.

I emphasis the comedy and accessibility because, historically, anime has suffered from borderline cringey tropes/humour (fanservice, perverted humour, women sharing one personality, etc) which limits it's audience to a specific demo. SpyXFamily blends western aesthetics with clean humour all from the perspective of a realistic 5yo that sees the world wonderfully juxtaposed to an era of turmoil.

You may not love it but I feel confident recommending this as a gateway to other great slice of life animes (Like Skip & Loafer, Dungeon Meshi).

A chinese native that travels overseas to America and teams up with either Owen Wilson or Chris Tucker look-a-likes to save another Chinese native, generally a young woman.

I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:

I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it's monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They'd be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they're the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.
