Awakening increases conscious time in this life

Question

Since being awakened means always being aware outside your body, and time last longer there ( so 8 hours of sleep here would feel like much longer there. Like when you have a dream it can feel like hours but you were only sleep 20 min). So that would mean essentially the sooner you do means you have much more valuable time to work yourself this life?

Time is an illusion. What we perceive as time is the movement of energy, which is why the amount of our conscious perception seems to alter time. When we awaken consciousness, we perceive more of nature and of the processes occurring in our own psychology, so we are able to comprehend more from our experience of life. As we are interested in achieving greater self-cognizance, we should strive to be as consciously awake as possible in each moment, including when we are physically asleep.
