At Time Turner would be nice, but it would also be dangerous.
If you used it and made a mistake, it could have bad 
consequences.

As to needing 'more time', you have to understand that that is
somewhat of an illusion. True you can create more time for
yourself, but you live it in linear time.

For example, while everyone else lived their normal 24 hour
days, you could time turn back and create 36 hour days, but
after several 36 hour days and the corresponding additional 
work, I think you would start to get a little weary. 

Notice how exhausted Hermione got using the time turner. Still
there might be a way around that. You could sleep for 8 hours,
wake up, time turn back 4 hours and sleep an additional 4.
There must be some drawback to that, but at the moment I don't
see it.

Of course, much like Hermione time turning for her classes, 
there would be times when there was more than one of you in
existence. One of you could be pestering your son to get
up and get dress for school, while the other 'you' could be
pestering your daughter, and a third 'you' could be making 
breakfast for everyone. Still, down the road, you would pay
for all that extra effort. But I have to admit, there are
times when I would gladly pay the piper later for the 
extra help now.
