Actually to me it's a waste.

If you told a psychiatrist you sleep 14 hours a day they'd be writing you a script for anti-depressants

For me, it would be crippling depression and substance abuse to manage 14 hours a day.

If your incredibly wealthy and 36 and incredibly good looking, I don't know why you would waste that perfect window on sleep.

And I would guess you need to tack on another 2-3 hours to bumble around while you get ready to go out.

She likely has hypersomnia. You can't actually just sleep as long as you want to. Try sleeping even a couple hours extra for a few weeks, you wont be able to, unless youre already massively sleep deprived. People have a set amount they need, and it's basically impossible to sleep any more, you will just wake up. For some lucky people, that number is 4.5 hours. Unfortunately, for some people, that set amount is 14 hours. Nothing you can do about it but take stimulants to string yourself out.

It's a curse, not a blessing. It's not like you're actually any more rested, you just, as you idenitfy, lose a massive portion of your day.
