We don’t value all of our time equally. Here’s an extreme example: we sleep a bit under 1/3 of the time. Let’s say you were given the option to forgo sleeping; you would have all that extra time, you wouldn’t feel the need or the desire for sleep at all. The catch is all that time gets lopped off the end of your life. Would you take that offer? I sure wouldn’t! I’d miss out on a lot; there’s a good chance I’d never meet my grandkids, for example.
