Sadly your sleep schedule will probably also relocate. The trick is to stay where you are and get a remote job from a place that uses your internal time zone.

How many remote jobs does mars offer?

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The day cycle on mars is pretty much the same as on earth, you'll not experience that much of a difference

Over 4 more hours of sleep every week could do wonders

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

We all know that wouldn't happen

That's one thing I loved about my previous job. I was central time, but the company was on Pacific time so my day started at 10am.

My gripe is daylight savings. You gotta get up an hour earlier for work, and the sun is out until 9PM.

You're not gaining an extra hour of lesiure. You're giving up an hour of sleep.

I want the sun out until 9PM. I don’t care about the sun in the morning when I have to go to work.

I get plenty exhausted in the regular 24h day, even with 8h of daily sleep.

I generally have more than 16 hours of energy in the day, so I actually did this for a while in college when I worked at a 24 hour job:

Monday: 2am - 10pm - morning shift and midday classes

Tuesday: 6am - 2am - morning shift and afternoon classes

Wednesday: 10am - 6am -midday classes and evening shift

ThursEve: 2pm - 10am - afternoon classes and overnight shift

FriNight: 6pm - 2pm - partying, morning shift, and errands

SaturSun: 10pm - 6pm - partying and miscellaneous

Usually I had to fudge it a little bit to fit my exact class/work schedule, but it was honestly kinda dope. Less time struggling to fall asleep, 8 extra hours in the week, plenty of energy to party all night. If I could finagle my work schedule like that again, I'd probably go back to it.

ugh I"m feeling that right now. slept like absolute shit lastnight, maybe 3 hours total. just tossing and turning all night. happens every damn year. I hate DST, just end it please.

Listen morning people, just because there are more of you doesn't mean you're not stupid. Sleep in.

Are they really more? Or is there a small but powerful amount of morning people ruling the world? 

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Do you think I enjoy it? Do you think it's fun to wake up at 8AM after partying until 6

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

I am convinced that if this was easy to do, the people that did so would find that their sleep schedule would mutate into something less easy to deal with.

I'd have to move to Venus for my sleep schedule to regulate...

I just want to live in the dark void of space.

I want to be a dark void of space, preferably the same size as I am
