is a 25 hour day a good idea?

people isolated from clocks and outside indicators of time tend to fall into a 25 hour day. this is why getting up an hour later is so much easier then getting up an hour earlier. since this is how we 'want' to live, why not do it. every night you would set your clocks back an hour, use it any way you want: an extra hour of sleep, get those chores done, more family time, finish that project. it would be odd at first to have our 'new days' unconnected from the solar day. the day would start an hour later each day and half the time the 'day' would actually occur at night. as we live mostly by artificial light anyway i do not see this as a problem. the longer days would mean that the year would lose 15 days (no more 31st and most 30th would also be gone) and there would be a 'drop day' (the calender would lose a day) once every 24 years.

24 hours is good enough for me. If you can't work within this 24 hour, you're doing too much.

I'm flat out getting through 24 hours. Another hour would make the week long enough for an extra shift at work.

it would be a good i diea but it would never happen unless they added days onto the year.

It wouldnt work, as it would change the metrics of everything - not just time

I do not think so. If a person is not disciplined to manage with the set 24 hours, an extra hour will not make a difference.

Sounds pretty complicated. I have enough trouble when they keep changing the clocks back and forth for daylite savings. I wish they would just leave it alone.

No, I think I will just leave it the way it is. I can't imagine the problems some would have taking their medication once every 12 hours! LOL
