Well for e busy city dwellers like many of us it seems we are always fighting for time and more time. given a busy agenda and mutiple roles ( parent, spouse, sibling, employee...e list goes on) more often than not we are constantly challenged with time constraint and e need to accomplish so many tasks in so little time. most of us spend at least 8hrs (and that works out to 1/3 of our day) snoozing which makes only 2/3 of our day available for our other activities whereby a large part of that is devoted to working for most of us. so where do we get that extra space for bonding with our family, our loved ones and last but not least some quality me-time. so is 24hrs a day really enough for most of us?!

I peronally do not like sleeping yes its a neccessity but I just dont like it, I think this is because of when I was in School a teacher stated that our body should not really need to go into such a deep state. Since then I have always thought sleep is a waste and to be able to do everything to grow my life and achieve total success as well as keep my life balanced,I would have to maximise my daily productive hours. Considering we also have 4 children 2 dogs, I need to sleep minimum and be productive a maximum number of hours throughout the day, I dislike sleep so this is great for me and now I am working with a sleeping pattern called the the everyman sleep pattern this is based upon polyphasic sleep pattern studies and means that I limit my sleep needs to a 3 hour core sleep and 3x20 minute naps throughout the day, it takes a few weeks to get used to and then becomes easier, a great way to maximise your day or minimise your sleep needs at least

Yes! I know exactly what you mean - 24 hours don't seem enough to get everything done. But at the same time I am sure that adding a few hours per day we would just work more rather than play more. I am usually tired when I get to go to bed, so I am not sure I could cope with more hours!

Well there are times I think it's not suficient and my day needs to have 30 hours!! But there are times when I think it's more than suficient... And I think my day needs to have just 20 hours!!!!!!!! I think it depends that what you need to do in a day!!!!!!
