You know it's 24 hours in a day, not 25 tho?

But yeah, I've alway said that I wished the days were longer, like 36 hours instead of 24 and that working 6 hours a day was the norm rather than 8. Most jobs don't have you working a full 8 hours of straight work anyways. 6 is probably the max amount of hours workers are actually doing productive work in most fields.
You won't wish for longer days...it will just mean that the work day will get longer since there is more hours for services to be rendered. A 35 hour day will mean a 12+ hour work day for most...I'm sure @DEAD7 will love it though. He will salivate at the idea of having people work 12-14 hour days on a daily basis.

be careful what you wish for...

That's cuz you don't know the full mechanics of my idea with it. I said I'd want lower amout of work hours (6 hours a day, as previously mentioned). Tho in actuality, as you're suggesting, there would be more services needed, to which, I'd just want more shifts for more workers. I know the world simply does not work that way, but that's the way I'd want to go about it. I'd actually want most services to run round the clock, so that for the majority of desired services, there'd always be constant access to it and assistance with them. I know that's not the outright economical way, but that's also partially due to how we're currently conformed and accustomed to living. I ultimately want longer days, less hours worked, but more workers employed. This way, more people could be employed and also, more time could be utilized for non-work functions, like time with family or time doing side ventures, hobbies, etc., cuz this 8-10+ hours dedicated to just work (I'm including travel and prep time) is some bull and not about that life.

The problem with this is the average amount of time humans need to sleep isn't going to change

Thats why working makes me hate life. Think bout it bruhs, if you work a 9 o 5 you gotta go to sleep at 12 to wake up at 8, have 15 minutes to get ready and 45 minutes to drive to work. They just took another hour of your life so it was really 8 to 5 you working. You getting home 5:45-6pm thats another hour of your life these scumbags took :dahell:

Now out of the whole fukking day I only get six hours to myself MAYBE when these scumbags got 10? shyt is depressing b :beli:

Yeah, 6-8 hours, which I don't see how that would be affected within how I stated I thought about it being. There would be more hours in the day, and yet more workers working less hours overall. Sleep wouldn't really get affected in that equation at all. Or at least it wouldn't have to. How you spend your day/night is on you, but I'm saying, the timeframe of how long days/nights are would still be in similar accordance to how it is now, which is what, like 55-60% hours of daylight (spring/summertime) vs. 40-45% of hours of nighttime. I suppose that would switch the other way around during winter months in colder climate areas. Anyone that works the later shifts of jobs that have them wouldn't be a world different than folks that work night shifts now. THey'd just sleep during the earlier part of the day.

If anything, it would promote longer sleeping or at least allow for more naps within the rest of the day as well.

Longer sleeping would benefit everyone but 35 hour days? Say you wake up at 8, work a 6 hour day from 9-3, go to bed around midnight, you would wake up around 8, but still have 11 hours left in the same day. Even after adjusting to extended sleep and shorter work days, there's still only so long a human can stay asleep/stay awake. Maybe a 30 hour day would work better.

I'm open for it being 30-32 hours as well. Just a good number of hours longer than 24 hours iMO. Either of those options opens for 2-4 more hours of sleep and extra activities each, which I think that much for both sides would be much appreciated by all. At a 32 hour day, even 8 hour work shifts is now only 1/4 of your day, as opposed to 1/3 as is now, which gets closer to 1/2 when you consider preparation, travel times and lunch hour.

we should move to "decimal time"

10 hours a day, 100 minutes an hour, and 100 seconds a minute

Yea man think of all the times your car needed service and you gotta wait until the weekend to do anything about it because the shop closes at 5. Or if you had to do anything at the bank other than deposit/withdraw money. Or the post office, license, bureau etc etc. Adding a 4th shift to the work day and shortening the shifts is an interesting idea.
