WYR get paid to sleep or paid for steps?

Absolutely steps.

$600 x 365 is $219k a year. I'd quit my job and become a full-time walker/hiker.

Sleep. I need to sleep anyway, I do not have to walk 10k steps. So basically safe money vs. maybe money .

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.

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.

Sleep. $500 a day is quite a pretty penny

Sleep! Because I have a disability that limits my ability to walk. And that disability makes me so damn tired that I sleep a lot

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

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 don’t take a lot of steps. Even when I’m walking for a day, people with me get literally thousands more steps recorded. So absolutely sleep. I need about 510 min sleep a night. It would pay more than my current job, that’s for sure!

I also prefer to do things other than walking/running for exercise, and I don’t have the recovery capacity or energy to do heavy squats, high intensity cardio, and also get in 8500 steps a day. When I go to the office, I’m lucky to break 3000 steps!

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.

As long as I don't have to sleep MORE and get paid for the sleep I'm required to do to live, definitely sleep, no brainer. The thing I hate most about sleep is that I'm not doing anything while I sleep.

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

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.

Sleep for me, I struggle to get in 1000 steps a day.

steps, even at like 1ct/step. i work construction and gardening. that's 15k steps daily on slow days

9hrs of sleep nets me 540 => 197,100/yr without taking any of my free time to exist which leaves more time awake to be making money

Steps - sleep can be hit-or-miss for me but steps are something I can actively increase, plus it's healthy.

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.

Steps. I'd be rich and fit. I'm not either right now, but >$600/day is a good motivator. Does running count?

Sleep, I know I could make much more with the steps but, why?

Steps. I pace.

Sleep. My health problems can confine me to bed for some time with little walking.

With all that money maybe I can find out why!

Honestly, steps for me. It's very easy to do, but it can be such a slog.

Sleep, I'm always gonna sleep, my capacity to walk is limited. Then again I've got insomnia so...
