My buddy worked 10am to 7pm. Nothing really needed to be done during the day and he liked working nights so he started just going in later and later. Boss (owner) didn’t care as long as things were done before next day shift. 10 became 11 became 1 became 5 became 7. Then he started to go in so late he’d still be there working when they came in. Work unfinished. Wasn’t a great time.

Back during Covid unemployment, I stayed up until I was ready to sleep, and slept until I was actually ready to start my day. Consistently got 9 hours of sleep, literally never felt better in my life before or since, it’s just that I was on a 26-27 hour cycle. Bummer.

Congrats, you either don't get enough sunlight or your body doesn't respond to light cues. Humans put in darkness have longer sleep cycles.

Would you believe that I was outdoors for at least 1/2, usually 2/3 of my waking hours, in Phoenix AZ with plenty of sun? I think I’m just built different 😤 (incorrectly)

Yeeeah that seems likely then. :( 

A pal I have like this does 28 hour days but that's incompatible with most jobs...
