A Gorilla’s Daily Schedule

Productivity hacks, but make it primate. Here’s the day plan that’s been working for silverbacks since forever: wake, eat, vibe, nap, forage a bit, build a leafy bed, sleep. Repeat.

At a glance

When What
6am–8am Wake‑up

10am–2pm Eat, Play, Relax, Sleep
2pm–5pm Travel 300–6,000 Feet*

Exact times vary with sunrise/sunset, food availability, and subspecies (mountain vs. western lowland) may be variable. Daily path length and time budgets are influenced by habitat quality and season. Talk to your doctor before starting any gorilla-like activities.
