Are these sentences natural? May 10

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. If one day I want to sleep early , it is not possible because of her routine. ( I was talking a hypothetical situation)

2. Do you have a sense of what its average income would be per year?

3. Space is at premium on that slide, so use your words sparingly. ( I was trying to tell a colleague to use minimum text on the slides of a presentation)

Thanks,
MG

Does this sentence convey that I am talking hypothetically, i.e. it can be true on any day?
