I mean, if shit gets fucked up because the president is sleeping, I’d argue that some things that should have been delegated weren’t rather than it being a problem that the president sleeps. If he stayed up until 1am, what if something big happened at 2am?

There’s more than a few things, both military and civilian, that can only be authorized by the President themselves. The Authority cannot legally be delegated to inferiors. You’re arguing that the Presidency should be able to do whatever it wants and that’s just not how it works.
