6 Days A Week
Under the 28 Hour Day system, the current week would remain at exactly 168 hours. (24×7=168) However, this 168 hour period would be divided into six 28-hour days rather than 7 24-hour days.
For most people, a typical 24 hour day is broken down like this:
- 2 hours for morning routine and commuting
- 8 hours at work
- 6 hours free
- 8 hours sleep
A typical 28 hour day would be broken down like this:
- 2 hours for morning routine and commuting
- 10 hours at work
- 7 hours free
- 9 hours sleep
With a 28 hour day, you’re getting more sleep and you have more free time in your day. You’re still working 40 hours in a week, but you’re not feeling as rushed and harried.

I like it!



There would be 313.071428 days in a year, meaning we’d have a leap year only every 14 years!
Obviously. Geez.
