vervet_monkeyIf we were left completely to our own devices, would we become nocturnal? or, half nocturnal? Or would we just sort ourselves out into how we work now anyway?
Just a bit of random wondering from student life. I know if I don't have anything to do during the day, I stay in bed longer, and therefore go to bed later. Obivously as students we have lectures to re-jig our body clocks back to normal. But this evening for example. I know I won't be going to bed until late. Which makes no sence, I've finished my book, nothing to watch, no work to do, but I'll manage to potter about till 1 or 2am till I go to bed. No SUCV task tomorrow, so no need to get up. But if I went to bed now I would probably be up earlier and therefore could go to the librar and do my reading...
But if it were long term, would we kinda go through a bit of random sleeping patterns then re-organise back to awake during the day sleep during the night, or would we remain random, or chose some other time pattern. If we took away all reasons to be awake at certain times, everything is open 24/7 and run by itself... somehow... but there is no set time...
I think I'm thinking about this too much... I know we are set to this time coz of agreculture and such...
Oh no, but then, in Oz, when working on agreculture, we worked to an earlier clock. Up at 5am every morning before the sun came up and to bed between 8-9pm after it went down. So have we actually already moved ourselves back? Should we really be awake during light, asleep in dark.
Yeah, I don't know where this has come from either...
