hi there, new here but here is my take : No matter what kind of ridiculous ideas people come up with, perhaps it’s up to us to take the decision to lead our life the way which is best for health and meaning. I guess this also means seriously departing from the conventional and the "norm" In this case, we have a beyond permaculture liv-in training place and we just totally ignore whatever does not make sense. In this case, raise just before sunrise, work with your own energies during the fullness of the day, and switch over to calmer, more reflective task after sundown. Is it inconvenient ? Sure could be for some, but at the end of the day, we are faced with a simple choice. How far are we ready to move our own habits needles to create a "regenerated" way of life? And yes it may mean totally reviewing our true motivation .
