the earth rotation is slowing....

[SleepingStandingUp]

days are drifting longer and longer, until they're 30 then 34 then 40 ets hours long.

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?

bearing in mind at some point daylight will last 24 odd hours, similarly night too.

DH think real time - sun up, sun down

aibu to think the only sanity is 24 hours makes a day, get some black out curtains for the light nights?

"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!
