You know, like "always split on 18," or "having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life."

What's that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

Having a non-sterotypical sleeping pattern is not a disorder, that is insulting and a perpetuation of people who naturally rise earlier being seen as better than those with different sleep patterns.

If a lot of people are using it wrong because they take it literally, then it is bad advice. Better advice would be "If you don't succeed, consider another approach".

I said or something else though if you want to be argumentative, insomnia is in-fact a disorder you dork. Why are we talking about sleep for fucks sake. It was used as a broad example and now we are suddenly on this topic? I now see why you take the quote so literally.

This isn't insomnia, it is just having a natural variance in sleep cycles.

I don't take the quote literally, which you would understand if you could read.
