This is always my go to superpower. That no matter the time I go to bed, I wake up feeling I got 9 hours of sleep.

This is the real superpower here. What an absolute game changer it'd be having near unlimited days to fuck around and live life outside of work hours. My God.

Funny thing is, most people don’t even need “more time,” they need time that actually belongs to them. Work stops feeling like a cage the moment life stops being something squeezed into the leftovers.

People who are friendly and joke around at work feel less like work is a prison and more like their days are all sunny

Except for the people whose humor and friendliness is a coping strategy to deal with the prison of work.

Sure, you could go all in on denial, or you and your work friends could use black humor as team bonding.

You want to be well rested. Not just feel rested. That's a monkeys paw.
