You ideal day length
Totally hypothetical (obviously).

With various stuff crowding into my day, I'm finding it harder and harder to time manage. What would be your ideal day length?

I'd probably prefer a 30 hour day, reserving 10 hours for sleeping.

Of course this is assuming that the change in day length does not affect your effective lifetime. Theoretically, your lifetime may appear 'shorter' if the length of the day increases.

It's 1am and I may just be nuts.

I hear if you become an agent, your day light hours automatically convert from 24 to 36.

I wouldn't mind 42 hours in a day. Although having the super power to never need to sleep is appealing.

Thirty would be fine for me. I need nine to ten hours sleep a night, and in a normal day, that means very little time to myself after toddler is in bed. Sigh. Just have to carry on with silly early nights....

42! Wow, that's a busy guy (or gal)!

Imagine Nathan Bransford answering this thread. I still believe that he secretly stops time every day.
