Metric time system? I didn't know there was one. On the contrary, don't they have atomic clocks to precisely define the second as such?

21 hours a day? Sounds good. Then one could easily cope with sleeping five hours a night. Not that I slept five hours last night, mind you. I slept a bit more than three.

If I'd told that to myself twelve years ago, I would never have believed it. With my best friend from Finland, who was a bit Victor-ish about his at least eight hours of sleep per night, I very much agreed that anyone who slept less than six hours on a regular basis must be some sort of perverse masochist...
