    I did compressed 4 day working, 35 to 37 hour week for over 3 years and I felt less tired and more refreshed than working the same standard 5 day week with daily travel.

    Lots of people work what they call continental shifts ie 12 hours a day for 4 days then have 4 days off. It doesnt affect productivity one jot.
    No Bolshie, I'm not "having a laugh", it's just how I feel about it.

    Good for you that it works, and good for others too if it does.

    I suspect for most though, productivity trails off dramatically before the end of a normal day, never mind 12 hour shift or whatever.

    Of course, if you have a crazy daily travel time, that will certainly help.

    re: the bit in bold. I've never done that, and will only on the very special needed occasion work more hours than required. Not sure why you think I think that?
