Is it possible to be asleep all but one hour a day to clean, eat/drink minimally, defecate etc? Would that be a way to wait things out until death? Aside from questions about fixed income is it possible?
I imagine it would start to result in health issues. Elderly people who can't move about much start getting issues like bed sores, muscle loss I imagine.
Even being less dormant but still more dormant than usual- spending vast quantities of time bed rotting and doom scrolling/ playing games, I'm noticing that my general fitness is f*cked. Even small jobs are feeling tiring.
I suspect it's sort of possible although- I wonder if we can even stay asleep 23 hours a day. I doubt it would even be all that enjoyable after a while though.

I sometimes get hypersomnia with my depression (ironic as I also have insomnia) and use is as an escape mechanism. I was up to 16 hours/day at one point. I do not know if it is possible to sleep 23 hours/day but I would not recommend it. I started losing real sense of time and it really fucked with my head in a way I did not like. Some prisoners actually use this to try to sleep through their sentence and it usually does not go well for them either.
