Travel 50-100% for current job. Having a kid with special needs. Having multiple children. Owning a home. Aging parents with disabilities. Outdoors/Travel nut (you or spouse). Civic/political/community involvement.

Any of these personal situations can eat into your "personal" time considerably. Add up 2 or more, and your remaining personal time is what you carve out of your sleep hours.

I'm lucky that I don't have to work two jobs like of the less fortunate, and I don't fall into all (or even most) of the categories above, but I don't watch TV and I don't have a github page.
