He's impulsive and is happy to be offered a stage and an audience and the pomp and circumstance of a presidential debate (even if there might not be a studio audience), so he quickly took it.

In fact, if he was prepared, he might have initially declined and negotiated.

I think the timing, if nothing else, works well for Biden.

since he is sleeping and not prepping; he won't be very on the ball. Confused; Stressed and Unprepared would be more accurate. And very Sleepy.
