If food is as much of a time sink as sleep you either sleep too little, or eat way too much

If you considering purcahsing and travel time to the store, recipe research, cooking the recipe, eating the food, cleaning the kitchen and the dishes, it adds up to a lot of time each day/week. Maybe not as much as sleeping but as a single adult living alone i probably spend at least 2-3 hours worth a day on the above tasks.
- Store is like 2 hours a week. Less if you live at a place where groceries can be delivered. Just get your weekly food at once. Save on gas and time.
  Cleanup is usually 15 minutes for my family. Including the mess my toddler makes.
  That won't leave hours a day if you ask me.
  Maybe 2.5 hours a day if you include breakfast and lunch. I can't live on 2.5 hours of sleep.
Shopping, cooking and cleanup are part of food.
Each meal can easily be considered 1-2 hours of labor.
- That's if you're doing it inefficiently as possible, or are just starting.
  Fill the sink with water and soap and wash up as you cook, and let your cooking pan/pot/whatever soak while you eat so cleanup only takes a few minutes.
  Hell, if you git gud enough, you can cook 2-3 meals in that time period and have food for the whole week.
  Most meals should only take about 30m of actual activity, especially if you choose recipes that are single sheet pan/skillet, or slow cooked.
It could be, maybe, just maybe, and here me out here, that the comic is not the absolute, actual depiction of one's day to the second, just a generalism to get through the point. Which can be done through not too dense heads which are able to do a bit of imagination and not taking a comic literally. Geez.
- You might be on to something. Try applying it to my previous comment.
Real life hack is a feeding tube while sleeping.
- Just ascend to my level and breath through your anus and absorb nutrients through your skin via a transdermal nutrient goo
- I eat while on work.
If it's time spent, you just have to be French.

I'd rather sleep to be honest.

I wouldn't, but my biology disagrees.

I used to make time for gaming with my friends every day by sacrificing my sleep. I only realized how much it messed with my health once I started getting a full 8 hours of sleep. Now I mostly play during the weekends.

9 hours of sleep gang. Blows my mind people can feel ok with less than 8 (or do they just not know???)
- People are not equal with sleep.
  Some people don't need as much sleep as others.
- I'm perfect with 7h.
- Try getting old. I used to want 9 or so. These days, I seem to just wake up after about 7 hours. I don't really use an alarm anymore. I just get up when I am awake and know that getting back to sleep isn't going to happen. Even nights after a good workout, I pop awake after about 6 1/2 to 7 hours. Never used to be this way. But, I just seem to need less these days.
- How? I have a hard time getting above 8 hours unless I physically and mentally exhaust myself
- i need just around 6 hours to feel ok and last till 12 pm

Have time for food but no time for toilet...?

Shit on the clock like a boss. If the boss pretends he's paying a lot, I'll pretend I work hard.
All part of the same category

make work 40 seconds

Work is taking the hit if I need to choose

I got a steam deck for this. It's helped a lot.

Because it's smaller, right?
- Right?
- Its easier to fall asleep in bed, while fishing in stardew valley.

A Steam Deck helps! I can lay in bed after the kid is asleep and knock out a half hour/hour session before sleep. Let’s not talk about the advisability of using devices in bed…

Low screen brightness and not playing in a completely pitch-black room (with warm lighting) works for me.

A good game can keep me up til 2am. That seems to be my limit.
