Adapt to - adapt with
Good morning. Can you guys tell me in which case I should use 'adapt to' and when 'adapt with'?
I found out that adapt to is used when the environment is constant;for example a place you adapt to, but with respect to time I have to change according to the change in time, which is not constant, hence adapt with is suitable in cases where there is change in time,which is not constant. Is that right?
Researchers discovered that the sleeping schedule doesn’t easily adapt to (with???) the advancing hour.

For your sentence, you should use "adapt to".
Actually, I don't know that I've ever read, or heard someone use, "adapt with".
I am from the United States.

I know only "adapt to" or "adapt for".
"Adapted to" generally means that something has changed to fit its own environment. For example, "People have adapted to the difficult living conditions in the Arctic."
"Adapted for" suggests changes made to something by someone else. For example, "The book was adapted for the stage by Ann Williams." or "The vehicle was adapted for off-road travel by the engineering students at University X."
