28 hours a day, 6 days a week

Has anybody else seen dbeat.com/28/ and have any thoughts? I think that having longer periods of sleep, spaced farther apart may help lucid dreaming (you would be more tired when going to bed, easer MILD/WILD. I might try this during Spring Break when I don’t have school, if I can get my work to adjust my hours accordingly. Any thoughts?

Yeah ^^ ! I saw this on hackaday and I thought it sounded extremely interesting. If you think about it, you should be able to do a lot of dream entry techniques like this, and if you fail, it’s not that long till you have another try. Problem is, I’d never be able to fit this into my schedule. :sad:
If you can though, go ahead and try it, I’d love to see how it goes!

if there were no day and night, you biological clock would have cycles of about 25 hours, but light levels influences your bio clock, making them a bit shorter, 24 hour (because that’s the day-nihgt cycle).

Also, artificial light isn’t that bright/powerfull as the sun, and you really need a powerfull/bright lightsource. (on your skin to make melatonin - a hormone that comes into action when it becomes dark and makes you sleepy)

I don’t think you body is easily adjusted to a cycle that doens’t match the day-night-24 hour thingy. And is it IS adjusted, it won’t function as good as when you slept in a 24 hour cycle… (unless maybe you have completely artificial light - i maen - it’s always light at 8 AM en always dark from lets say, 25 PM)

oh, and they forget to say on the site: 8 hours of sleep won’t suffice anymore (because your days are longer). Maybe now you should have 9 of 10 hours. … and you have to work 10 hours a day instead of 8. That gives you 1 extra hour a day.

Ever heart of Ubermans sleeping schedule? That makes me believe it’s better to shorten days - because if you have a schedule like: 1,5 hour sleep, 4,5 hour awake - then you are NOT fatigued, but you have 6 hours sleep a day!!!

I’ve been experimenting with my sleep schedule recently and I’ve found that I have a 26-28 hour sleep cycle. I’d seen this page before, and now it seems like the perfect way to live… Hopefully I’ll one day have a job where I can live on my own schedule like that.
