Is it possible to be asleep all but one hour a day to clean, eat/drink minimally, defecate etc? Would that be a way to wait things out until death? Aside from questions about fixed income is it possible?

Even being less dormant but still more dormant than usual- spending vast quantities of time bed rotting and doom scrolling/ playing games, I'm noticing that my general fitness is f*cked. Even small jobs are feeling tiring.
I suspect it's sort of possible although- I wonder if we can even stay asleep 23 hours a day. I doubt it would even be all that enjoyable after a while though.

I sometimes get hypersomnia with my depression (ironic as I also have insomnia) and use is as an escape mechanism. I was up to 16 hours/day at one point. I do not know if it is possible to sleep 23 hours/day but I would not recommend it. I started losing real sense of time and it really fucked with my head in a way I did not like. Some prisoners actually use this to try to sleep through their sentence and it usually does not go well for them either.

Antipsychotics, hydroxyzine and depression made me sleep 14 hours at some point. It was nice because I didn't have to confront reality for a lot in a 24 hour period.
Nowadays sleep still makes me very happy and I spent like 12 hours in bed everyday and I still can keep a part time job.
