I failed to mention I do physical work because writing software wears me out much faster. I see no reason why it wouldn't work the same way. Brain/Desk work (at least in my experience) is not limited by Newtonian mechanics.
It would depend on the kind of job but I imagine it is worth testing if you are more productive working 4 days, or 3. Perhaps one can just be there for meetings? Maybe you can do some stuff to build up the goodwill, from what I've seen there are companies that actually care about the end result and praise employees willing to run the extra mile to make it all work. An overworked managers should be able to understand that you suspect to be more productive working fewer hours? Could ask him on Friday and point out some examples on the work floor.
I can sleep when I want and as long as I want. 14 hours is not a problem. It's required for recovery. The day before a shift I stay awake till 3:00 am-ish and sleep at least 7 hours. Its great for me.
