Have you ever felt like you didn&#8217;t get enough sleep and it was, too soon, time to get up? Have you ever wished for more free time to pursue different activities and goals?<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you can relate to these feelings, you will be interested in the 28 Hour Day.<\/strong> Under the 28 Hour Day system, the current week would remain at exactly 168 hours. (24&#215;7=168) However, this 168 hour period would be divided into six 28-hour days rather than 7 24-hour days.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbeat.com\/28\/benefit3.htm\">benefits of extending the length of the day<\/a> are relatively clear: you would simply have more time to do the things you wanted to do. Everything you do now in a typical day could be done for a little longer: you could sleep longer, work longer, spend longer blocks of time with your family and friends, and have more leisurely meals. Other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbeat.com\/28\/benefit1.htm\">benefits<\/a> become apparent when you realize that &#8220;daily&#8221; activities would occur less frequently: only six times each week instead of seven. Work, for example, could be accomplished in larger blocks of time, with fewer trips to and from the work place.<\/p>\n<p>There are also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbeat.com\/28\/benefit2.htm\">benefits<\/a> that come from the fact that, on a 28-hour day, our wake-sleep cycles would not be synchronized with the earth&#8217;s cycle of light and dark.<\/p>\n<p>There are strong philosophical and scientific arguments in favor of the 28 hour day. Serious proponents of the 28 hour day share their views <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbeat.com\/28\/serious.htm\">here.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbeat.com\/28\/\">The 28 Hour Day<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/alex.vlachos.com\/28\/\">The 28 Hour Day Clock<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok now I know the 28 Hour Day system has been talked about loads of times before all over the web, but I still find it interesting and well I could do with some more time so what better moment then now to post this blog post, just remember this a six day week means longer days!
