(something that the original poster has not and > does not seem prepared to do) Well, if one is in a competitive career where time is short, then those who need less hours of sleep have an advantage. 80 hours of weekly work is not at all unheard of, and that is a mean of 11.4 h per day. Taking into account that one free day a week seems good for mental health and endurance during months and years, 80 h / 6 d is 13.3 h a day. Leaves 10 h for other activities, but if we take out 2 h for travel, 1 h for meals and 0.5 h for compulsory tasks like paying bills or washing clothes, only 6.5 h remain for sleep plus other leisure. That is not really enough, is it? Dag Stenberg
