everyone would take it.
Friend, if everyone on Earth got poisoned and the antidote was tap water, 20% of the population would refuse to drink.

Drinking dihydrogen monoxide will eventually result in your death.
It's lethal if you ingest too much or if you inhale it.
Dihydrogen monoxide is old news what you really have to be worried about is hydric acid!! It’s a solvent that is used heavily in the chemical industry and they want to place it on our fruits and vegetables
Right?! Hydric acid inside the body can do so crazy things. Like hydric acid has protons that it wants to hold onto, but sometimes can't. When it releases that proton it's is now a free radical in your body. It gets pretty complicated but it's crazy.
You promise? I'd hate to find you were wrong and live forever.
Because taking a pill doesn't take 2 hours...?
Next question :)
if excerise was a pill everyone would take it so why don't they.
If pills were a cheeseburger, everyone would take them.
Damn, now I want a pillsburger. I mean a cheesepill.
I can't even be bothered to take my mutlivitamjns whevery day
If they ever did that, companies would require their employees to take it, and add 2 extra hours to your work schedule.
I'll just as soon stick to natural sleep thank you.
Yup. When the internet was emerging workplaces were talking like it would revolutionize the workplace and save people time. But instead it just means I’m answering emails 24/7 while still commuting and working 10 hours a day.
Hooray
Hey, with that pill I‘d only have to sleep 4 hours to be as rested as the regular 6.
So if I take 2, 12 hours apart, I can get by with just a couple 2 hour naps?
Oooh, so you're saying we could work 10 hour days standard instead of 8 with the same quality of life?
What am I saying, that's already why caffeine is the breakfast of change champions.
Probably because you feel pressured to feel some pleasure while living, not just going through the motions of a mechanical biological life, people aren't machines or beings of pure logic.
A typical sleep cycle is 90 minutes. If you wake up during the wrong part of the sleep cycle, you're going to feel tired. 6 hours would likely leave you feeling better than 8 hours. 7.5 hours would feel better than 6.
Though, allotting 8 hours is a good idea. It accounts for the time it takes you to fall asleep and bathroom interruptions.
It's important to note that this varies by person. So someone could have a sleep cycle that aligns more closely to 8 hours than 6 hours.
Does the drug cost me two hours that I could be using to do something fun or productive?
You wouldn't use those hours doing anything fun or productive. You'd spend it shitposting on lemmy.
Be real.
The joy of working from home is that my work time becomes shitpost time, and my shitpost time becomes leisure time.
I find most of the time I’m trying to claim time back doing something I enjoy. As 95% of my day is shit for work or other people.
So the 2 hours is like a protest of that and actually being a person seperate from the demands.
And I know as soon as I fall asleep. Works back again.
That's the best part, I give myself the 8 hours but my body says "fuck you Mr.ImGoingToGet8HoursOfSleep. not if I have anything to say about it! Have fun tossing and turning constantly! 8, how about 5?"

Mr. Sandman, give a dream! make them the cutest, that I've ever seen give them two lips, like roses and clover to tell me that my lonesome nights are over!

Just expressing appreciation for the correct amount of bums. Thanks.
thank you
The drug would either cost $3000 and not covered by insurance, OR would become mandatory by employers and your hours would be fucked.
I'm the opposite. The moment I cross that 7-hour threshhold, I feel like I haven't slept at all.
That might be related to the sleep phase you are in when waking up. Try adjusting the time you go to sleep or wake up by small increments and see if that makes a difference to how you feel (even if just to understand your own body better).
Gawd I love adderall
Because I have too much shit to do on weekdays and society forces me to get up too early. I get 8 hours on the weekend when I can sleep i.
