That’s about twice as long as I can last, though I only started about a month ago. I find that my problem isn’t boredom so much as worrying about the day’s to do list while trying not to think, though. I’m not sure if I’d be bored if I had nothing more pressing to do at the time; is your boredom actually boredom or just the desire to do something else? Actually, is there a difference?
It feels like psychic pain from boredom. Some people claim that meditation reduces your need for sleep by an amount greater than what you put into meditation so perhaps you could think of meditation as a way of saving time.

Curious to know where you got this. The lore I’ve heard from two meditation instructors is that the reduction of need for sleep is about half of the time meditating — which leads me to wonder whether someone got their factors backwards.
