Curiouser and curiouser! Actually according to neoclassical labour supply   
theory restricting your choice of working hours reduces your utility. Shome   
misthake shurely!  Maybe faced with a Zugzwang you dont have much of a choice,   
and you must do something about it, such as fighting for an 8 jour day.
