Your age in hours. At the usual eight hours a night, roughly a third of the total has been spent asleep — for a forty-year-old that is about 117,000 hours.

Hours are the unit where a lifetime starts to feel finite in a useful way. A year is 8,766 hours, so a forty-year-old has had about 350,000 of them and, at eight hours a night, has slept through around 117,000. The waking remainder is the number worth looking at: roughly 233,000 hours, of which working life at a conventional forty-hour week accounts for something like 80,000. None of that is a moral instruction, but it is a different framing from a birthday, and the arithmetic is at least honest about where the time goes.
