What happens if you travel to another time zone, say 6 hours different to your home? Would you continue to fall asleep at the same time, or would you adjust? If you could adjust, does that mean the time you fall asleep is dictated by the position of the sun? If so, does that mean your bedtime varies with the seasons?
- Twisol 7y agoThat's a reasonable question. I covered this and some similar questions in another subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20148165 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20148165 Long story short: I adjust to the new timezone just fine, and (depending on the direction I traveled) the temporary jetlag is sometimes a huge boon. But I still ultimately end up offset relative to local time. I haven't tested with subtler variations due to the seasons, but it's a very interesting idea.
