25 hour days

24 Hours Not Enough? See The Light, Pulses Of Bright Light May Reset Body Clock And Stretch The Day To 25 Hours - CBS News

it's amazing how the mind is so flexible.

I dont exactly get how this works. I mean, we just measure time with numbers...we aren't actually changing the world. It doesn't really seem interesting or amazing at all....

we are changing the circadian rhythm which we use to regulate are sleeping cycles among other things. after being used to 24 hours cycles and switching to 25 hours cycle shows again on how its able to adapt to changes it wasn't previously designed for.

Wait wait, thanks for explaining. It's somewhat interesting now. Humans are pretty adaptable creatures.

oh and i was just trying to get some discussions going, i couldn't really find something that great in 5 min.

The human body can adapt to pretty much anything. A while ago I was in a job that I'd been in for ages, and I'd get to sleep at about 1am and get up at 5am 5 days a week. Over several years, it became completely normal to me, and I didn't feel tired at all during the day. It was just a fucker at weekends when I'd wake up at 5am.

I'm sure i read about this years ago, in a book about Chaos theory. I can't remember exactly though so I could be wrong there.

Aren't people either owl's or lark's, implying some/most/all(?) people find their sleeping rhythm sliding forwards or backwards. Does this not mean that most people have a slightly longer or shorter daily biological rhythm anyway?

Give me a job, and I am an owl. Otherwise I can be reg as clock when granted the liberty of freedom from corporate slavery. Not saying I'm a lazy cat, I just find that a few hours in morning relaxing over a cup of tea and some yoga, followed by strenuous exercise in the afternoon, followed by some more yoga and perhaps a bottle of red and some nice hashish in the evening, and some intellectual debatery via the net, that's my cup of chai I tell you.

Good job you did man, no-one would have clue what people were on about if they was to say, for example, "Get up you 'y sod!" or "Stop being so 'y!"
