Usage of more in 'Study more'

What do you native English speakers see more as in the sentences?

1. Study more.
2. Sleep more.
3. Learn more.
4. Eat more.

Here in those sentences, the speech part of more is an adverb or a pronoun or both?

If it can become both an adverb and a pronoun, is there a meaning difference?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

Hans51 What do you native English speakers see more as in the sentences? They are adverbs. I see no rationale for expecting them to be pronomial, though of course it is possible.
