Something about keeping my heartrate pegged just past its recommended max for 20 minutes (I burned 600 calories over 30 minutes) is rejuvenating. I hope that I’m not going to need to keep this up for the rest of my life to stay at a reasonable emotional equilibrium. But even if it is necessary, assuming this habit gives me another 5 years of quality life, it’s a break even situation on the waking time lost to exercise and the number of years gained.
Hmmm, so maybe I will keep it up.

So you lose a little sleep. If you can have five additional years of good game playing, hopefully you’ll have five additional years of technological advances in games!
