[Dragaera] Spoiler space without spoilers

[Khymaera]

It depends on the person. I find when I am off work (vacation ...or worse) I
tend to stay functional until about the 20-22 hour mark before I get tired
and need to sleep. It's often a struggle for me to sleep after being awake
16 hours, I'm just not tired. And before anyone screams 'cut down your
caffeine intake!', I have. I make it a point to avoid ALL caffeine/stimulant
sources after 2pm, just so I can try sleep around midnight. 

So, yes, I can very easily see humans working on a 30-hour day (and I'd love
it, myself!). I'm not an insomniac, the days are too short. >.>

It's a staple of science fiction (meaning I have no idea if it's actually
true) that people adapt fairly easily to longer days.
