    The drug would either cost $3000 and not covered by insurance, OR would become mandatory by employers and your hours would be fucked.

      Oooh, so you’re saying we could work 10 hour days standard instead of 8 with the same quality of life?

      What am I saying, that’s already why caffeine is the breakfast of change champions.

    If they ever did that, companies would require their employees to take it, and add 2 extra hours to your work schedule.

    I’ll just as soon stick to natural sleep thank you.

      Yup. When the internet was emerging workplaces were talking like it would revolutionize the workplace and save people time. But instead it just means I’m answering emails 24/7 while still commuting and working 10 hours a day.

      Hooray

    A typical sleep cycle is 90 minutes. If you wake up during the wrong part of the sleep cycle, you’re going to feel tired. 6 hours would likely leave you feeling better than 8 hours. 7.5 hours would feel better than 6.

    Though, allotting 8 hours is a good idea. It accounts for the time it takes you to fall asleep and bathroom interruptions.

      It’s important to note that this varies by person. So someone could have a sleep cycle that aligns more closely to 8 hours than 6 hours.

      You wouldn’t use those hours doing anything fun or productive. You’d spend it shitposting on lemmy.

      Be real.

        I find most of the time I’m trying to claim time back doing something I enjoy. As 95% of my day is shit for work or other people.

        So the 2 hours is like a protest of that and actually being a person seperate from the demands.

        And I know as soon as I fall asleep. Works back again.

        The joy of working from home is that my work time becomes shitpost time, and my shitpost time becomes leisure time.

    Because I have too much shit to do on weekdays and society forces me to get up too early. I get 8 hours on the weekend when I can sleep i.

    everyone would take it.

    Friend, if everyone on Earth got poisoned and the antidote was tap water, 20% of the population would refuse to drink.

        Dihydrogen monoxide is old news what you really have to be worried about is hydric acid!! It’s a solvent that is used heavily in the chemical industry and they want to place it on our fruits and vegetables

          Right?! Hydric acid inside the body can do so crazy things. Like hydric acid has protons that it wants to hold onto, but sometimes can’t. When it releases that proton it’s is now a free radical in your body. It gets pretty complicated but it’s crazy.

    I’m the opposite. The moment I cross that 7-hour threshhold, I feel like I haven’t slept at all.

      That might be related to the sleep phase you are in when waking up. Try adjusting the time you go to sleep or wake up by small increments and see if that makes a difference to how you feel (even if just to understand your own body better).
