Default Sit or Stand?

Just curious how many of you sit or stand in your treestands while hunting (or a little of both)?? I admit I sit most of the time and feel like I'm being lazy. Problem is I log A LOT of hours on stand during the season. I also feel like I can remain still a lot better sitting than when I'm standing. I am constantly scanning the woods at a distance to get the earliest detection possible to give me the proper moment where I can stand and get ready, but sometimes (as you all know) it doesnt' always work out perfect. I just can't stay motionless too long while standing. Legs get weary and the back starts to ache and I find myself fidgeting.

However there are situations throughout the years where SURPRISE I wish I was in a ready position. Times where I've been handcuffed and couldn't move because I wasn't up and ready with the bow. Do any of you think standing makes a significant difference? If so how the heck do you do it for an entire lenghty hunt? Or do you decrease the time of your hunts?
