Pretty much that. Most mammals I can think of live by what the sun, one way or another.



You should live by the sun, regardless of what the clock says. The clock is useful for measuring time, and UTC, TAI, etc can be useful for that, but if you want to wake up, etc, you can do by the sun light. For local time, you can use the solar time, which can be used with a sundial.


Your thinking is incorrect. Most mammals are nocturnal

Nocturnal would be “the other way”. It’s still based on where the sun is: below the horizon.


How do you be nocturnal without living by what the sun's doing?


Nocturnal animals are still living according to where the sun is, just as much as we are.


Good time to bring up my idea where time is expressed as offsets from sunrise, noon or sunset for a given lat/long coordinate.
