What good are 30 more hours if they (and the others) are less productive, more irritable, and overall less enjoyable? Why not just sleep 3 hours a night and get 150 more hours every month?

People need different amounts of sleep, and the same person needs different amounts at different times. Just aim to get what you need.

Well one thing people never seem to openly mention is that sleeping that extra hour a night only makes me more productive for my boss, and doesn't really improve my life more than 30 extra hours of doing whatever I want. I don't think, for most people, that single hour of sleep will be the deciding factor of anything

You're the one talking about the job/boss, not me. You can be productive at things at home too!

And sleeping 6 instead of 8 you get ~60 hours. Also, imagine how much time you can save by not going to the gym!

However, not being able to do anything productive at that extra awake hours except being groggy and battling with concentration problems while grinding down your health has no benefits.

So be awake less, do more with less effort, have a longer life.

On average I sleep around 10 hours. I've never felt like I'm missing out, until now perhaps.
