Get home from work earlier. As it is currently I get to work early and get home late. Worst of both worlds! ~15 minute commute so at least that isn't bad.
Tell this shit to the entrepreneur, the writer, the academic, the artist, the person that honestly loves what they do...
This is total bullshit if you love your job.
Up at 6, 20min SSS, 40min walk to work:
work 7am-11am
eat
work 12pm-4pm
drive home:
kids 4:30-7:30
eat
work 8-10
down time 10-12
Honestly, a 9-5 job is an excuse to waste half of your waking life infront of the TV.
I would never choose to leave work so late. You get home and your night is shot and you're faced with calling it a night that much sooner. Sleeping in isn't worth that much.
Also I feel a lot more productive earlier in the day.
Get of earlier for me. But as it is I work 12's and highly prefer that. I like working a longer shift and having more days off. Working 14 out of 28 days rocks. Plus every other weekend is a Fri-Sat-Sun three day weekend. I rather like my schedule.
In my early-mid 20's: sleep later.
In my early 30's, leave work earlier.
This. While I do enjoy what I do at work, I put in the hours (in large part) to get the money to do the sh*t that I really want to do.Or pursuing other hobbies and interests. More power to you if you can thrive on six hours of sleep. I'm jealous.

My hours were 7am-3:30pm. I rather liked that. You still have some usable evening left, and as you said, you miss the traffic.
