Not Enough Hours In The Day

cock robin

If I had a penny (cent) for every time I heard that expression, I would have about well about 2 euro if Im honest. However the universe as we know is expanding and the moon is moving further away. The result will eventually be that the earth will slow and our days will become longer. However if we had the choice and Whirlpool or Sony could come up with such a device that could create longer or shorter days. Which would you prefer ?

What does it matter? Whether the day is longer or shorter it isn't going to give you any more actual time.

would love the evenings to be longer spend more time at home and chilling, work days shorter though. i think if the days were longer we would only find more to do to complain about. like i wish its saturday every day durng the week and spend at least 2 hours recovering from previous night, 5 hours cleaning and what a waste. i think its long enough for our short existance. there are enough hours if you manage them wisely and dont arse about.

Were still going to need 7, 8 hrs sleep in 24 hrs so wouldn't really matter if days were longer ....I think

Why Whirlpool or Sony OP?:D
I like it the way it is, longer days in Summer when the weather is good and shorter days when it's not so good in Winter.
I wouldn't mess with it.:pac:

More hours in the day would only mean shorter hours to make them fit in, feck, i obviously am not drunk enough yet.:o

Not so. If we were given a 30 hour day we would have adapted to it. Sleep is controlled by light. People used to go to bed earlier before artificial lighting came about but once people started using artificial light we adapted to staying up later.

Very true ALKALINEACID. I think a longer day say 30hrs would be great. Work for 10 hrs, sleep for 10hrs and act the b***ocks for another 10

People working longer hrs / double shifts is nothing new .It is true that some people ( if able ) like to spend more time in bed during winter times and some people need more sleep than others .
