Do you mean sleeping 'x' amount of time every '26-x' hours? That is a very interesting notion. It creates an illusion of having more hours in a day. Of course, this comes at cost. If you were to sleep at 12.00am one day, you will have to sleep at 2am the next, and 4am the day after that and so on.

- guynamedloren 14y agoYep, exactly that. The idea is to sleep the same amount of time as you normally would (8 hrs, for example) but stay awake longer. With a 28 hour day you'd come full circle in a week (I think), but with 6 days in your week instead of 7, and 120 hrs awake vs 112 hrs. Edit: oops, just noticed jgeralnik beat me to it, with illustrations and all!
