      Not enough of course, but there are weekends ( I used to work to lunch time on Saturday when I started!) What you do with the free time is more important than how much you have. Regards Robin

      Never enough! But I think most working people feel like that. I work from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday, so normal working hours. Of course if I wanted to I could work 6am-10pm every day, or just on a few days, or never work at all (but not working would get me in trouble!). As a PhD student I am in control of when I work and I know a lot of students who don’t start before lunch time but then keep going until midnight. I prefer to work normal office hours so I can still see my friends (who also work normal office hours) in the evenings and at weekends.
