$1/minute sleeping and $0.06/step taken.

This gives you 8x60x$1 = $480/night or 10000x$0.06= $600 a day for the recommended 10k steps a day.

    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 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

    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.

    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

    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!

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

        Then I’d be a millionaire in a couple years. I don’t like running, but I’m petty sure that would change if someone paid me around $350-400/hr. 40 hours of that per week (obviously working up to it) would be $700-800k/yr. Push yourself to do 80 hours a week and youd be there in less than a year.

        Edit: and I’d be in great shape. Getting paid to sleep would just make me lazy.

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

      And nobody said only 8h. One could sleep 10h and earn same as 10k steps a day. Take couple of naps during a day and add to income.

    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.

    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.

        You could also become an Insomniac. Idk, I think old people are told to keep moving for as long as possible. I’d hope one would have saved for rainy day funds and retirement.

        I think this is a question that similar to capitalism or socialism. Work an avg amount or work for what you get.
