Principlev1
Protect circadian consistency through same-time sleep/wake
Protect circadian consistency through same-time sleep/wake schedules even when total hours vary, as regularity produces better quality per hour than irregular schedules with more total time.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Ultradian and Circadian Cognitive Rhythms (circadian and ultradian rhythms). The principle follows that if cognition operates in predictable biological cycles, then schedule consistency should be prioritized over hour maximization for optimizing the system. This is prescriptive and general.
