Is that even possible to get only 2 hours a sleep a day for 5 days in a row?

So, that is 6 hours of travelling each way including walking and buses. Apparently he gets to work an hour and a half early. That seems like a lot of extra time for a person that only gets 2 hours sleep, unless he can sleep in a break room until his shift starts.



If he is walking for nearly 12 hours a day, he must have been passed many times by bicycles. I just can't imagine that he never thought that it might be a good idea. He should be able to take the bike on his buses, but even if he has to ride the whole 23 miles each direction, he should be able to do it in about 2 hours each direction, or about 4 hours total.

It drops his commute down from a ridiculous 12 hours walking/riding the bus down to 4 hours of riding the bike. It is still a long commute, but very possible.
