Interestingly enough, the US Navy used 18-hour “days” on some of their subs to address issues of sleep deprivation and scheduling. There are some interesting articles out there on the topic, but eventually they went back to the standard 24-hour day. Using a different paradigm for time is a neat concept, but for practical reasons, it would just never sync with the rest of the world.
