      I work 9-6 during the week, so not as much as I would like! I get a good amount of holidays though, and I get to travel for work quite a lot so that gives me some extra time.

      It depends on how my workload is at any time. My hours are quite flexible though so if I need to get a bit of extra sleep in the morning or leave the office early occasionally for something particular I can normally do that. I also get to take 25 days of holiday a year, on top of weekends and things.

      I work 8-4, Monday to Friday and can often have to work weekends during busy periods. Doing a PhD is a lot of work and I really want to do well so I don’t have as much free time as I would want. However, during quiet periods I can take holiday and have highly flexible hours.
