I'm unemployed. I sleep 10 hours per day.
When I was employed, I slept 6 hours per day.
The difference in mood is massive.
However, I'm not sure if the working world will change. It's a zero sum game of who is willing to torture themselves the most, which is sometimes correlated with how much work you produce.
At my past job, it wasn't enough to just produce. You had to /look like/ you were producing. This meant working 8-6. This meant skipping lunch. This meant always sitting at your desk (no walking meetings).
Obvioisly not every employer is like this. But working is a pretty decent way to kill yourself. It happens to most people eventually.

- InternetUser 9y ago>The difference in mood is massive. What are two adjectives that describe your previous mood, and two that describe your current one?
- quuquuquu 9y ago6 hours' sleep = zombified, confused, stressed, steeped in dread 10 hours' sleep = alert, optimistic, sharp, happy And the only variable that changed was lengthOfSleep !
- asdfologist 9y agoI thought another variable that changed was your employment status. That's a huge one, no?
- quuquuquu 9y agoCorrect, becomeUnemployed() was what altered lengthOfSleep :) I certainly could have tried to sleep more while I was working, but there really wasn't a way for me to personally achieve that. My boss and company were psycho. Lots of unpaid forced overtime, else fired. Lots of meetings and political games to play, else fired. I wish my skills were desired elsewhere but it's been difficult to find a new job. So, plenty of time for me to sleep. I definitely am exercising the same amount as I was while working. Sleep changed everything. EDIT: How on earth is this answer downvotable? What have I said that is even remotely wrong or controversial?
- jackmott 9y agothe job stress elimination could be the first order cause rather than amouny of sleep. thus pedants must downvote. it is their way. our way?
