I wasn't meant for this world. Turning off my brain is quite the cumbersome and lengthy process and can prove quite difficult when trying to fall asleep. I usually have to be awake for 17 hour plus before I see the sandman. Combine this with a lust for long night sleeps and no need for an alarm clock you have the recipe for my conundrum. I think I would be a much happier man if the world spun a tad slower; twenty seven hour days for the win.

Don't give too much on the concept of time that natural sciences work with. That's not really the kind of time we live in.
Time is in your head. This is an authentic concept of time, a phenomenological one.
You don't have to be at work at 9 am so you don't have to structure your life according to the rotation of planets.

agree with above. remember time is continuous no matter how much humans try to convince you it is discrete
umm... regardless of how you feel about time, there is a very well understood biological basic for sleeping at night and being awake in the day. I am sure a circadian rhythm specialist could tell you what is different about your brain. Just a guess, i think one reason you poker players might get off is that you dont spend enough time in daylight. a study showed that when people were deprived of sunlight/ the daily light cycle and allowed to set their own sleeping patters, the longer the study went on, the longer the cycles got. people started sleeping longer and staying awake longer. sounds like exactly what you are describing. obviously, you guys have no real need to work with the traditional time schedule, but really, not waking up with the sun is likely the cause of your inability to maintain a 24 hour cycle.
poke smot and it will take care of everything...
of course that's the reason, rachel. that part of your post is so obvious, but i disagree that there is no real need to be awake with the sun or whatever. there's no biological reason for this and he should just sleep as long as he wants and stay up as long as he wants and not worry about the mandates on time because he is in a position where he doesn't really have to worry about it. posts like yours just make him feel worse
