Actually, not necessarily, but mostly, approximately so many more hours. It could be thirty. It could be 45. Whatever. You get the idea. This whole issue of technology giving us 'more time', which we just spend on creating newer technologies to give us 'even MORE time' -- I think the only problem with such a progression is in the fact that we are not supporting and reinforcing the progress in any logical or efficient or sage or utilitarian or remotely curious manner. We are, in fact, doing nothing at all but floating along in our, for the most part, natural, traditional way. Our actual needed/desired active hours have outgrown the 24-hour cycle of sun-up and sun-down. So, people are either not getting enough sleep every day, or are not getting everything done that they wanted to do (or getting everything done, but with no remaining spare time). Now, I recognize that this wouldn't end the cycle; I recognize that, having this much more time (now with the required sleep to go with it), we'd still just want/need so much MORE time, and more, and more, et cetera. The difference is, I think we should actually try to see where, if anywhere, this cycle might lead. Is it infinite? Is it exponential? Is it a cycle at all? Do you care? Hey. What's so great about planetary rotation, anyway? 000918 ... miniver So, you see, what I'm sayin' is: the whole wake-while-light/sleep-while-dark thing is not the 11th Commandment or anything. 'Old habits...', though, I guess. Very old, very nearly humanly-universal habits... Oh well. Still, for me, it feels like I would function better with a nice active 24 hours, and then 12 hours to sleep (again, give or take whatever few hours you will). 000918 ... ubliss ***ubliss: The Ultimate Bliss*** Subject: Productivity, GOD, GIVE & TAKE Productivity is OUTput(OUT) over INput (IN) or OUTput ------ INput.

Although I worked three days this last week (as a substitute teacher, which should qualify me for a medal!) it only amounted to about 20 hours of work. Granted, $300 is cash... but I should be working harder or something. This summer I want to work two jobs, get a cell phone, live out of my car.
