How much productivity do you think is lost by sitting vs. standing?

Question

Spent the last 3 years in home office where I have a standing desk setup. Came into a coworking space today with no standing desks. Feel like I&rsquo;m half asleep. I can&rsquo;t be any more than 50-60% as productive as when I was standing!Crazy that we know sitting is bad for you. How much productivity change, if any, have you felt if you&rsquo;ve tried switching to stand up work?Also, what an easy win for a lot of companies, if productivity changes 10-20% plus on standing desks, what an incredible easy boost that is.

I think you have extrapolated from your personal sample of one to reach an absurd conclusion.
I feel more productive if I stay up until 3am drinking Coke while setting in a chair working. Do you think my personal experience and preferences and habits will apply universally?
Subjectively measuring “productivity” by how you “feel” seems like a shaky start for the hypothesis “standing desks dramatically improve productivity.”
