Some time ago I've written a tool to set your personal 28h day schedule: http://28h.t-animal.de Give it a try :) 131.188.30.76 00:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Uncanny, I've actually been up since 3am, today (Wednesday... at least I think it's Wednesday), which closely matches this comic that I've just coincidentally passed through while browsing. Of course the reasons for this are different (it's too hot, and my seasonal hay-fever isn't helping me sleep either, and it's just crept over 17 hours of daylight, at this latitude).

And I can additionally attest from some (also unrelated) experiments in personal day-lengthening, several years back, that doing this long-term can cause noticable problems, even when planning several days ahead to ensure you synch up (or at least mesh compatibly) with various forthcoming appointments and commitments. 178.98.31.27 16:47, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I removed the Incomplete tag. I don't really see how this explanation could go much further, apart from citing some semi-reputable sources confirming that the 28-hour day is not just one of Randall's thought experiments. It is notable enough for many things, but unfortunately not its own Wikipedia article, so background checks need to be done. Maybe I should put that Incomplete tag back, in retrospect... --Quicksilver (talk) 20:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
