8 minutes 46 seconds is a long time.
As an experiment today, I knelt on a rolled up blanket for that length of time. I would argue that anything over about 2 minutes ceases to be a casual endeavour, it requires an exercise of will and determination to ignore the discomfort in your own body, prioritising the transference of that force, that discomfort, to another object.
Try it.

8:46.
