What the flying fuck. I literally did that exact thing in university to manage my at-the-time undiagnosed sleep disorder.
I slept through like 30% of my classes, but it was the most rested I’d ever been in my life.

We should make the days 28 hours long as well while we’re at it.

I actually had this happen once. My mental health actually improved, but it was untenable for my job and social life unfortunately. It was kinda nice for a couple months though.

Afaik, the effect depends on if you have unusual circadian rhythm or not

Yeah, I noticed my rythem in absence of anything teathering it to the socially acceptable world is about 28 hours. Weird that I am not alone in this apparently.

i’m pretty confident it’s an evolutionary adaption to ensure there are people in the tribe that are wide awake when others are sleeping, to keep an eye on things.
same thing with neurodivergence, sexualities, and left-handedness; it’s all stuff that’s been boosting our survival as a species when a portion of the population has those differences.

Mine settled on 36 hour days and it was fantastic. Plenty of time to work, plenty of time to play, and plenty to sleep, every day. … then I got a 9-5 job and my life became hell again.
