Out of curiosity, how much YOU time do you get in a day/week? Doesn’t have to be alone time but time doing the things you want to do and not having to concern yourself with responsibilities in the moment. Do you forfeit sleep to achieve this you time? Are you a victim of revenge bedtime procrastination?

Hmm... Interesting question. Not a lot of time, on average. Even at home, there's always some sort of management or planning to do. Always need to think about what comes next. But the busyness comes in waves. Occasionally I get a week with really nothing to do. And then, inversely, there are weeks where everything is happening all at once and it starts to feel like I can't keep up and things are starting to slip. I'm currently in one of those weeks, but I'm sure it'll pass. Just need to get through it. That's the life of a researcher for you. There's definitely a level of masochism required for this sort of lifestyle
