Earlier this year I was relieved of numerous responsibilities and unregimented time made itself abundant.
When the skies were dark I began the experiment by seeing how long I could stay up and what cycle I would end up in.
I found that I began gravitating toward staying awake 18 hours and sleeping 10 or 12.
However, I later took a more freestyle approach laying my head down and closing my eyes any time I felt like it and the following pattern emergant:
Sleep 5-9 hours. Function 7 hours. Sleep 4-5 hours. Function 18 hours. Repeat.
I am seeking an ultimate sleep cycle as it has been long apparent to me the sun cycle is unoptimal for our biology. Once I have found something resembling such a sleep cycle I believe there is a way to implement it so it can fit with the standard sun cycle.

Things start getting weird to me when I'm awake too long. 28 hours would bug me out.
