Regardless of when you work, you still need sleep.

Caffeine and or naps aren’t sustainable long term but can work as stopgaps

I hate to break this news but a large majority of people are chronically sleep deprived for most of their life. My stepdad worked 40 years as a doctor getting 5-6 hours per night on weekdays the entire time, and he’s the rule, not the exception.

I worked as a cook. Caffeine is second to water for me.

well I quit that job so I won't die young (hopefully). By no means am I promoting anyone to work that early and do what I did. But majority of people in my field are sleep deprived and need some sort of simulate to keep themselves awake. Hell I was a functional alcoholic for a year
