Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 14, 2021

Turn all those 2 and 3 hours into 15 and 30 minutes and you might actually accomplish something.

Today’s background music: “Too Much Time On My Hands” by Styx.

If you sleep half the time you’re reading, half the time you’re working and half the time you’re meditating, you can get plenty of sleep time.

have fun at all that, Pig

I’ve met some people who seem to get 5 times as much work/play done as the rest of us. Generally they’re hyper focused, and extremely brusque. I prefer being a little sloppy…

You don’t have to account for sleep if you do the meth right…

You’ll work better if you study for 30 minutes at a time or so. I found myself productive, when I forced myself to work for 30 minutes. This got me “in the zone” and I could get a lot more done without getting distracted.

Not having to sleep, that would be heaven, oh wait, that is heaven.

Sleep is for the week.

Sleep ? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING SLEEP !

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead – Warren Zevon (catching up on his rest now.)

Sleep on the job Pig, lots of people do it

You just lost one hour due to the Daylight Saving Time switchover, Pig.

Just riding my exercise bike or stacking wood for half an hour has worked for me.

Being sleep-deprived does not help productivity. Believe me, I know that all too well!

Got no friends, no family; rarely eat breakfast. 5 hours of sleep should be enough.

It will all be accomplished in his dreams.

And with today’s clock change, you just lost an hour, so …

… This lasted less time than his New Year’s Resolution.

I read a book in the 1960s called “Unsleep” the lack if sleep did not work out that well!

I have a story idea for a world in which every man, woman, and child alive each gets one superpower. My main character’s power is that he only needs .001 seconds of sleep per day.As a child, I dreamed of being strong enough to lift buildings, running faster than a Ferrari, or flying. Now I dream of having more time in the day. (Also, I have frequent and sometimes brutal insomnia, hence another reason sleep has become a topic of interest for me and why I’m posting this at 4:30 in the morning.)

Sorry Pig I like my 4 or 5 hours of sleep .

Velocity of life does not equal quality of life.

A truly fulfilling job would consist of naps and lunch, so Pig should be OK.

You left out personal hygiene. But after a time that will even out with the hours with your friends.

Oversleeping is rated. Yawn.

Two minutes into that two hours of meditation and you’ll be out like a light.

They say the lack of sleep will make you a raving narcissist with a God complex who will tell a lie and instantly believe that it’s the truth and then compel others to also believe it and also turn your skin orange…well that’s what they say.

All that crap about losing or gaining an hour is pure BS. It is nothing more than a control feature for businesses. I’m retired. I don’t care what the clock says, I’ll sleep when I’m tired and be out and about whenever I feel the urge. And I don’t watch tv, so I don’t care.

Two hours of meditation? I can’t sit still that long. I’d be done after ten minutes.

You won’t get any work done without any sleep.

We don’t want a crabby PIG! He needs his sleep…better re-evaluate…

Exactly!

Pig will sleep when he’s dead. Which will likely be sooner.

I need at least 8 to nine hours of sleep and I make sure I get it.

Sleep is for the weak.

Lately, I’ve been sleeping 8½ hours a night with lots of fun dreams. Doing so renders a lot of the rest of that stuff quite unnecessary!

Beggars in Spain.

Eight hours a day to read Go Comics doesn’t seem like enough.

With interesting and pleasant dreams, who needs the telly?

After The Singularity, we won’t need sleep. So, there’s that.

Eliminate eating and personal hygiene to free up even more time.

I’d be all for Pig making a sacrifice if it meant pork chops on the grill.

I pulled that once back in my twenties. Stayed up for 72 hours straight, well, longer than that really. Wasn’t intending to stay up that long, wasn’t even intending to stay up for twenty-four hours. Wen’t to bed that first night and picked up the book I was reading to get in a chapter or two before I fell asleep. Next thing I knew, it was six in the morning and I couldn’t sleep. Would promise myself I’d sleep over the next couple of nights and found myself too busy to sleep for various reasons. By the time I went to bed on the fourth night I just collapsed

Has anyone posted this? https://www.gocomics.com/wumo/2021/03/14

Gotta credit Pig with some ambition here. But that plan of his will only work for a short time. After that, sheer exhaustion kicks in. Pig will sleep then for at least a full day….

Yep… that sums up only a quarter of my day…..

this schedule fits for someone who gets a job as a subject for research study on sleeping

You expect to get ahead working only 8 hours? Silly pig. Take a speed-reading course and knock that 3 hours of reading down to 1 – that will give you two more hours to work. We all assume that you live and eat at your desk so there’s no commute time wasted.

Sure pig.

Rule of Capitalism #125: Sleep can interfere with opportunity.

What would you do for THREE hours with friends every day?? They must be very needy friends.
