In my opinion this guy has his priorities reversed, basically admitting he never sees his kid yet somehow finds it worth it (he comes home at midnight and gets up at 5am):
“Our little guy goes to bed at 9 p.m., which is not so cool, but he loves the backyard and neighborhood, so it’s completely worth it.”
- celticninja 9y agoI assume its on the basis that he needs to work to support his wife and kid, by sacrificing his time he can give them a decent house and garden which they would otherwise be unable to afford. I'm not saying its the choice I would make but i understand his reasoning.
- mi100hael 9y agoI do not understand how a maximum of 5 hours of sleep per day on a long-term basis is sufficient. How has this guy not had a melt-down?
- Double_a_92 9y agoYou can sleep on the train. So it's at least +2 hours.
- Touche 9y agoNote that this does vary from person to person. I know people who can sleep anywhere but I personally find it very difficult to sleep sitting up. I pretty much never sleep on planes, for example, no matter how little sleep I've had or how long the flight is. So in this commuting situation I would try to sleep, but probably only be asleep for half the time and never get to the REM stage.
- scott00 9y agoSleep needs vary. I honestly believe 5 hours a day long term would kill me. But I have friends who voluntarily sleep that little.
- Sleeep 9y agoI knew a guy who slept that little and he thought he was fine with it but he routinely fell asleep for a few seconds at a time during various times/activities and, strangely enough, had no idea he had fell asleep. I had to record him doing it before he believed me.

- Quarrelsome 9y agomy dad was emotionally cold so he did what he could and ensured that even though he felt awkward hugging and playing with me and my brother that he would work for us and buy us things we wanted. Not everyone is touchy feely. It did take me a while to understand his love to be honest but it was definitely there. He turned down a move to another country because he was worried that it might negatively effect us. With that he lost a promotion and his senior position at a fortune 500 and worked positions much lower to keep us going over the next decade.
- eeZah7Ux 9y ago"hugging" and "touchy feely" != spending time with someone.
- cylinder 9y agoI don't even understand the point of that. Just rent a bedroom somewhere in Queens for M-Th nights at least.
