A 48 hour day

cormie

I wonder if it was bright for twice as long and dark for twice as long as it usually is, would we still feel like sleeping half way through the day or would we adapt to sleep and average of 16 hours a night and be awake without getting tired until about the 31st hour! Hmmmmm:v:

You really must have nothing much else to worry about, huh....

cormie

I do, drivel like this just takes my mind off it if even just for 2 minutes and 38 seconds;)

So, to answer your question Cormie, we'd adapt in a way of reverse evolution!
At least we could throw crap at our bosses...

a 16-24 hour shift?

I'd rather fling poo.

No way...then we'd have to wait twice as long for the weekend!

there was an extra second added to last year at one second to midnight on new years eve as the earth is slowing down and days are getting longer by a millisecond a year or something miniscule like that,in a few billion years a day may be a lot longer!

cormie

What should we do:eek:

I wonder would 24 hour protection deodrant sell?

It wouldn't change my schedule. I love sleep far too much.

Cormie, I thought your name was 'commie' for one glorious moment.

Yeh you'd be able to squeeze twice as much drinking into a roll-over 2 day drinking session...

It's shorthand for Communist.

Commie(s) is usually found after the words 'damn' and 'Godless'.

I though that's what you meant alright! You could always create a new account with your nick as commie if you want though?

In daylight deprivation trials, people were found to adapt to 20 hour days, consistant with the 20 hour days present X hundred million years ago.
