Makes sense really.

I’ve worked in factories that had their clocks offset by 15 minutes and ended up living on that time.

Yeah, but wouldn’t he suffer from ‘rocket lag’?

A lot of people have day cycles that are longer than the standard 24 hour period. Most people that like to stay up late are naturally attuned to a 24+ hour cycle.

Morning people are usually geared towards a 24- hour cycle.

Ok, how will the school age kids cope?

It seems entirely arbitrary and abusive to drag them into what is clearly just their father's work schedule.

When will they be hearing from CPS?

So happy hour on Mars would be like......how many minutes in an hour?.......30?......30 minutes has an hour, April, June and Mars......all the rest have 31......the Beatles had 8days a week......and if it’s leap year then you spring forward an hour?.....and time disappears in a black hole?.....time can disappear in a black Russian too......

I don’t see what’s so stressful about sleeping in an additional 40 minutes every single day, except when you have to interact with the outside world, e.g. business hours, and of course who’s still on American Idol. Come to think of it, I wish the days were about 26 hours long - then I could sleep in 2 hours every day.

Too bad the family doesn’t consider homeschooling the kids while they’re doing their Mars Time experiment! Just think how much more time they’d have for learning if they’re not stuck in a classroom all day!
