  No because if the rules apply you always wake up too early, having not slept enough and if you try to take an afternoon nap then you just wake up the next day, you are now stuck forever underslept, groggy, which is totally not my normal everyday anyways

    I think you can nap. As evidence I present the scene where Rita and Larry go to the morgue to identify Phil’s body. This suggests that the time loop continues the day beyond Phil-specific events (like death, and naps)

      Yeah but I don’t think it’s like, you’re stuck in spectator mode until the next day.

      I’d imagine from his perspective, he died and immediately woke up the next day.

        We only need sleep because our bodies build up a bunch of stuff over the course of the day, and the brain/body needs downtime to deal with it, asking with time to do repairs and maintenance. If you restart the day, all that also gets reset.
