As you can see, I spend a lot of time commuting, about 3.5 hours per day. On the way to work, I'm pretty unproductive with it, because I'm still waking up - napping and reddit, or read the news or listen to NPR if I'm feeling more alert. On the way home, I usually read on my kindle, and maybe check HN if I haven't been on at work. I'm not particularly happy about the commute, but I didn't really have many better choices available, and this job paid the best.
I also don't get too much sleep - it's not great, but it's not particularly troubling to me, either. If it catches up to me, I'll go to bed earlier for a day or two, but usually it's not really a problem.
