I've been on a 28-hour cycle for the last 7 or so years. Since it lines up into a 6-day week I can still be awake for more-or-less business hours on weekdays (sleep at 4pm mondays, wake at noon fridays). I'm pretty sure 28 hours isn't quite what my body naturally wants, but it's a lot closer than 24. After a week trying to stick to a 24h cycle I'm basically a walking zombie. They tried to put me on melatonin when I was a kid. First dose sent me to hospital with an allergic reaction. After that we were pretty hesitant to try other remedies. My life was miserable until I went onto the 28h cycle and I realised it was possible to NOT be tired all the time. Don't listen to all the "oh, you just aren't doing X right" people. Find a solution that works for your body and your life.
