Poses hypothetical sleep schedule questionfrom @bobbykazz
[01]
Overview
The creator poses a hypothetical question to the audience: if they had to pick one specific time to fall asleep every night for the rest of their life, what would it be? While spreading a chocolate-like substance on toast, he analyzes the consequences of choosing an early time (missing social events) versus a late time (struggling with early work mornings), concluding that a middle-ground time like 11:30 PM is probably best but still has drawbacks. He ends by directly asking the viewers for their choice to encourage comments.

Transcript
For the rest of your life, you have to pick one tier, one specific time to fall asleep at every night for the rest of your life. What time would you pick? So let's say for like for example, let's say I choose 10:32PM. That means every night for the rest of my life, no matter what I have going on, I have to be in bed sleeping at 10:32. I'll just be I'll I'll be I'll be knocked out by then no matter what. Like, you really have to think about this. Like, if you pick an earlier time, let's say, like, 09:30, you you can say goodbye to going out ever again at night because you'll be you'll have to be in bed. Like, it doesn't matter what you have going on. You have to be in bed by this time. But on the flip side, let's say you pick, like, one in the morning. If you have to get up early for work, like, you're not gonna be able to sleep, like, ever again, like, ever again. So you really have to kinda pick a spot in the middle. I I guess if I really had to pick, I would I would pick, like, I I don't know, like, 11:30 or midnight. I I feel like that's the way to no, but, like, then it would it'd be tough because, like, then you good never go out past midnight again, which I don't do too often anyways. But, like, what if I have, like, a wedding to go to that that ends at, like, one or two in the morning? I have to leave by by 11:30 to be to be in bed by 11:45 if that's the time that I chose you know so it's a really interesting question I think so so what time would you pick if you had to choose
