$1/minute sleeping and $0.06/step taken.

This gives you 8x60x$1 = $480/night or 10000x$0.06= $600 a day for the recommended 10k steps a day.

    Steps. I walk fuckin everywhere. Walked 30K steps last Saturday, 10K steps a day most days. I’d have earned minimum $600 a day just for my daily commute for the last six months.

    I haven’t slept eight hours in god knows how many years.

    I’d choose to walk. I can make even more running so there is room for growth. While I can only sleep a max of (if you sleep the whole day) $1440 a day.

    Playing a sport for fun will earn you a lot of money all while simply exercising.

        You could also become an Insomniac. Idk, I think old people are told to keep moving for as long as possible. I’d hope one would have saved for rainy day funds and retirement.

        I think this is a question that similar to capitalism or socialism. Work an avg amount or work for what you get.

    Over the past year, I averaged 10,896 steps a day. To get paid the same in sleep, I would have to sleep 10.896 hours a day. There’s no way that I could enjoy life and sleep for almost half of it. Steps is the easy choice.

    I used to get paid £0.06 per tree planted.

    I’d definitely take the steps payment as I still have an active job.

    Last job I was walking 20k+ steps a day

    Thats more than 100k to sleep. Yeah steps make more but sleep is a definate and you could do whatever you want. I mean the steps could be done under 2 hours and most days you would likely get them in doing whatever but with sleeping when you are sick your pay would go up. Yeah I take sleep.

      It’s mid-afternoon and I’m already at 8,672 steps, just from housework and a half-hour walk. I don’t think you have to be an extraordinarily active person to reach 10k steps in a day. Barring disability it’s a very achievable goal.

    Steps for sure. Just walked 20k steps at work, that’s $1200 vs the 6 hrs I slept which would only be $360.

    Walking. I would immediately make plans to walk the Appalachian trail and the PCT. You would get paid around ~300,000 dollars to walk the Appalachian trail and ~480,000 dollars to walk the PCT. 2 hours a day on a treadmill at 3mph would garner you ~800 dollars a day. Fit and rich sounds like a great plan.

    After a lot of back-and-forth with myself: sleeping. There have been times I’ve been injured or sick or overworked and didn’t do much walking, but I need to sleep every day. Plus it’ll be nice to have some guaranteed income when I’m old and bedridden.
