the earth rotation is slowing....

"would you live your life by the 24 hour clock and accept dark and light comes bad goes randomly or try to live by the sun up, day, sun down, night?"
Well I currently do neither. Lifelong insomniac, often awake well into the small hours (as I am again tonight), so apparently free from the influence of either the clock or the sun. Left to my own devices I have, in the past, settled into a roughly 28-hour 'day', and gone completely around the clock to re-co-ordinate with the rest of the world.

I have considered I may be an alien from a planet with a 28-hour day.

Mine's about 30 hours. It's really bloody annoying.

I guess I only need to live another eleventy billion years and I'll be in sync with the Earth's circadian rhythm. Oh, hang on. Won't the Sun have started dimming by then? So the daylight will only be a gloomy sort of red.
I'm doomed either way 😂

I already have practically no sleep routine and work a mixture of days & nights anyway so I’d probably just wing it.

The idea of 24 hours of darkness is exciting though. 24 hours of daylight sounds like hell.

Humans will be long gone!

I'm too disabled to work anyway so that's never been an issue. I do sometimes struggle to be awake at the right times for things like family birthday parties and doctors appointments but overall dealing with that is far easier than coping with how awful I felt all the time trying to stick to a 24 hour cycle.

My late OH had a similar issue with sleeping where he'd stay awake about 12 hours and then have a 3-4 hour nap and only have a "proper" full nights sleep once a week or two. It helped us get through being stuck in a small flat together through 4 year of lockdown/shielding as we both got time alone while the other slept as well as plenty of time together.

Hypernychthemeral syndrome. It's hell!

I’d imagine it would be so gradual that life would evolve to the new cycle.

If it happened now we would probably still have our 24 natural cycle and it would be like living at the poles where they adapt to 6 months of dark then 6 months of light.

It won't happen. The rotation is powered by cat dreams, there has to be a cat asleep somewhere or the world will stop turning and the cats aren't taking any chances.

Only if its gorilla glue. 😂

My bedroom Is in permanent daylight anyway because of the street light directly outside my bedroom window that I didnt notice when I viewed this house in daylight.

As a rule I don’t tend to take advice about end of the world events from people who can’t use the correct ‘there, their they’re’

Sure, but not in your lifetime. From my distant undergrad memory I think years are estimated to have been about 21 hours long at the start of the Phanerozoic (c. 540 million years ago).

Assuming a linear progression (and spoiler alert, it almost certainly isn't - I suspect the rate of change of day length is gradually decreasing but can't be bothered to go and check), my back of an envelope calculation suggests that is roughly 1 five millionth of an hour per year.

This isn't going to solve your shortness of time issues any time soon...

Not only was the OP obviously positing a hypothetical scenario, but they used "they're" correctly.

So nice job embarrassing yourself.

OP, I think you might have to ask HQ to put "hypothetical scenario" in your thread title. So many hard of thinkingfolks are taking it as a literal end of days prediction 😂

What on Earth are you talking about? Your post is barely legible.

Maybe you should read her second post again. I’ve helpfully added a screenshot. Her second word is the wrong ‘there’

happy to help

There’s a book with exactly this plot - the age of miracles - where some people start to live according to sunlight and others stick to 24 hours. It’s a really great book told from the perspective of a young teen.

I think it might be too hot to live.

Consider the recent UK heatwaves. Get to the hottest point of the say, then there is another 20 hours of blazing sunlight to come before the sun sets and the area around you can start to cool.

It would be like a conveyor belt pizza oven. And we are the pizza. The belt stops and we cant switch the heating element off.

I recently read a book called ‘I who have never known men’ where the amount of time in their day was uncertain. Very thought provoking. Great read - I recommend.

You’re missing a comma here:

the correct ‘there, their they’re’

You are also missing hyphens to make “end of the world” into a phrasal adjective when talking about end-of-the-world events.

Furthermore you have omitted full stops from the end of several sentences, and started one with a lowercase letter.

You obviously care a lot about other people’s grammar, and I’m very happy to help you with yours so that in future you can come across as less of a hypocrite.
