A good way to look at the waiting is that while you can't read all the stories, it's more time for them to get new ones out. I mean at the rate you can read stories, you're more likely to be caught up on everything if you were able to constantly read the stories without any wait ever. And you're just teasing yourselves by checking every hour (or less.) I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, just saying finding a positive way to look at the short wait will help.
