I’d decided that I wanted to try living to a 28 hour day but I am currently living a 24 hour routine. A little bit of planning is required to make the transition from 24 to 28 hours. Day zero is that transition day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 28-hour day syncs every week, so the first thing to decide is what you want it to sync with. In my case I want to end on a Sunday 2 weeks from now and I want to get up at a sensible time in order to re-transition to a 24 hour day. There is a handy tool for planning the 28 hour week here.<\/a> It only does a 8 hour sleep whereas I want to sleep for 9 but it’s still useful. I will simply add an extra hour to the sleep for each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After specifying that I wish to be awake at 0800 on Sunday I do the magic<\/em> and it gives me various ways to achieve this. After tweaking to arrive at a waking time of 0800, It tells me that I need to go to bed at 0400 Monday morning. I created a quick timetable in Google Sheets to show the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition starts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sunday night, day zero, I initially started to feel a bit tired after midnight and found the first couple of hours a bit tough. At around 0300 I decided that with an hour to go that I’d have some gin and tonic to last me through to 0400. Unfortunately this backfired a little as the tiredness went away and I lost track of time as I stayed up watching YouTube videos. In fact it was nearly 0600 before I finally called it a night. I was 2 hours overdue and I still intended to get 9 hours sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My transition and first day had a slight set-back then, but I still wish to end at 0800 on a Sunday so I will not spent 19 hours awake on day 1, it will be reduced to get back on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
