While I do agree with the whole going to bed early thing sucking Id say the experience all depends on the person. I used to come home everyday after work go to the gym, make dinner, load the dishes, shower, and watch a few videos or draw and then get my 8 hours of sleep and honestly aside from the actual job it was some of my fondest times. Having a regiment is very nice to me. While I wouldn’t want either long term its much preferable to a 9x5 in my eyes.
