Ask HN: Any research on 25+h days effects on health?
I believe many people in the startup world would be interested in this question. What happens to your body, when you sleep 7-8h, but you extend the period of time you are awake? I, personally, can't sleep longer than 10h, no matter how long I was awake before that. Lately, I've been experimenting with my schedule (out of necessity to meet certain deadlines, mostly) and I found that I feel relatively OK, when sleeping regular 7-8h and working longer hours, ultimately going over 24h per sleep-awake cycle. Obviously never getting your sleep at a certain time of the day (every day you move the time you go to bed with the number of hours you extend your day with) has an effect of the quality of your sleep and ultimately you get less sleep. So, is there any research that you know of, comparing these 2 different types of sleep deprivation: - sleeping less but keeping the 24h cycle duration; - sleeping regular amount of hours per cycle, but extending the cycle (through your awake time) to over 24h. 1 comments on Hacker News.
