You feel 100% refreshed on either options


Maybe it all adds up. You may die earlier but you've been awake more than the person who's been sleeping more.

Which do you pick?

Assuming those extra 21 years arent spent in agony, why would I not choose to get more sleep?

In this question, more sleep doesn't give you more energy. Both 6 and 8 hours replenish your energy 100%.

You are spending the same hours awake. Sleeping more just allows you to span it over more years. But you still get old and become slow and sluggish as everyone normally ages.

Think I still take the "Live to 91" option.

May actually see the Mets win a World Series.

Quick mathing shows approximately 10 days difference of waking hours, assuming the person is 30 years old. So would I give up an extra 21 years of life for a difference of 10 days worth of less sleep? Being old sucks but I think I would take it over death.

lmk if my numbers aren't right tho

Been sleeping 6 hours a day along with drinking and smoking for 30 years.

I also eat like shit, but I'm not fat for some reason.

2 hours a day would come out to 1 extra day every 12 days. that's a little over 30 days per year.

6 hours. Any longer and I feel like shit. The earlier the more energy I have for some reason.

The math is that you lose 2 hours per day until you turn 70, then gain 16 hours a day for 21 years. It's not anywhere near as bad as only gaining 10 days before 70, but it's still absolutely awful. Even if you start at birth, you only gain 5.83 years before you lose 14.

I have to sleep 8 to feel decent. I'd love to go to 6, but if it's a 20 year difference in life, I'll gladly stay at 8.
