CAN YOU LENGTHEN YOUR LIFE BY MAKING A DAY 36 HOURS LONG?

[+] serious ballot by LCD
ACTIVE Mon Feb 25, 08 - Tue Feb 24, 09
on the modern egg farms, they have these laying hens sitting in a building, where the light goes on and off cycle every 6 hours.

Idea is, that chicken thinks that 6 hours is a day, and they lay an egg every day, so it quadruples the egg production.

Cruel and unusual I agree, but it got me thinking.

if you can control your body to work on a 36 hour or 48 hour schedule, then couldn't you trick your body into living 50% or 100% longer?

poor chickens.

Great idea!
Not so great idea!

Regularly taying awake for 48 hours would probably shorten your life. You might start laying eggs though.

^LOL .. I know I used to stay awake 48 hours at a time on a regular basis, it probably did mess up my body more than anything.... (although the problem was I was getting 4 hours sleep after that 48 hour cycle)

I wonder if it was 30-36 hours, and you get plenty of sleep, I don't think anyone would notice, and it probably would lengthen your life, if you have any genes that you share with chickens or cows - and you do.

Entropy runs the Master Clock. Time has built-in ways of keeping things in order, IMO.

Not really a great idea. Because chickens (fryers and such for meat) also used to be raised (and still are in some cases) in houses with the lights on 24 hours a day. This speeds up their metabolic rate, making them grow faster. Which means they also die faster.

You can walk into chicken house and yell and it's not abnormal for about a dozen of them within close range to die of heart attack.
