How many hours would you want in a day if you had it your way and why?

Is there a point to this?
...

I'd have 24 because that's perfect for me.

It depends on what I'd get to do. If it was something like spend more time with Ibis, it'd be alot more than I get now. If it was something like torture (ex. not spending time with Ibis and oh, say, doing laundry), it'd be a lot less than 24 hours.

I have a feeling with more hours we'd have the same proportions of time management. Wether we have 100 hours in a day or 24, 25% of the day will still be taken up by school.

I'll stick with 24, because that is what our bodies are created for.

Sometimes I think the days are too short. Maybe add five hours. Everyone would get used to it, as we are used to 24 hours.

But are we talking adding tie to daylight? Or simply adding time to the clock, so it would throw off the timing of the day. If that happened, we would wake up and the sun would be in a different position every day.

Well changin the hours of a day would mean you'd have to change the A. your life span and B. increase your your ability to stay awake. Then I would make days 48 hours long. If that means 25% is taken by school then good cuz the other 75% isn't

I would keep it the same because everything would be out of proportion, even though i would like to have more time with lindsey :-\

Just a few more so that I could see Steve a little more often, and get to hang out with my friends more than once a month, that'd be great.

I'd have like, 5 more hours, so I can sleep as long as I want, and still get up early

23 hours and 56 minutes. That's a nice number to have the stars overhead again. I was thinking, in the fall when we change our clocks again and have 25 hours that day, I want to sleep all of them so I can say "I sleep 25 hours a day" and not be sarcastic. :D

Apparently, someone did an experiment once where they took some people and stuck them somewhere without any clocks, windows, or other indicators of time, to see how much the people would sleep. The people in the experiment eventually settled into a rhythm of days of about 25 hours. I wish I could provide a link, but I don't have one; I just recall reading it somewhere or other.

i'd make days 32 hours long. Reason being that on some days, i have the following routine:

12 Midnight: Sleep
7:30AM: Wake
8:30AM: Work
5:30PM: Finish work
6:00PM: Networking class
9:30PM: Arrive home

So i have 2 and a half hours to myself.

an extra 8 hours a day would be perfect

O.K. With all the proportions act like evreything would be like it is right now just with more time.

There's a thing you can do called working six long days in a week, rolling over, I believe. You work six 28 hour days, and that's a 168 hour week, just like 7 of 24 only grouped differently.

Do not need any more or less hours in a day.
But the amount of daylight would be nice to controal.
I like the fact when I am working in the summer that the sun stays up till way past 6:00PM
But in winter it sets sometimes around 4:00PM Short daylight days suck. (IMO)
On the other hand, in the fall when days are about the same length (or the spring) it is nice to be able to go outside and stargaze around 7:00 - 8:00PM
So I guess it's just best to leave it as it is and just wate for the times you like best and enjoy them when they come. [shrug]

What I would like to do, is be able to not require sleep, but still be able to if I choose to. That way, I could maximize all 24 hours in the day, and if I got bored, I could sleep it away.

Not the answer to the question exactly, I know. But that would be my ideal situation.

The amount of hours is perfect, but the amount of days in a week we need more of. I would love to have 13 days in a week :P
