Anyone else worried about their jobs? Who *actually* does work for 8 hours a day at an office job? Is this halal?

Sometimes I get anxiety thinking Allah may punish me. I'm supposed to work 9hrs mon-fri but I work more like 5-6 hours mon-fri. However, I'm not paid hourly (I'm paid salary) and I meet all of my deadlines and have not gotten a single poor performance review yet. The team I work on has been praised repeatedly as well alhamdulillah for meeting high expectations.

Many times there simply just isn't so much work to do, so I'll not even be on my computer, instead I'll be asleep for like 3 hours of the working day until I get actual work to do. But am I expected to constantly be doing work-related stuff during this downtime, like maybe study for work-related certs or review old work? I don't know of anyone on my team that actually does work throughout all of the downtime, unless they actually have work to do and therefore don't have downtime.

At the end of the day, i do make myself available for 9hrs/day and I've even worked 11 hours when needed. But I'm still worried about when I'll be questioned for my income on yaumul qiyamah.
