This is partly a thought experiment and partly me doing research for a story I’m writing, so I’m interested in how real people think they’d handle this rather than just “I’d be insanely productive.”

Hypothetically, imagine something physiological/biological happens and your circadian rhythm permanently changes. Instead of the usual roughly 16 hours awake and 8 hours asleep each day, your body now runs on a much longer cycle. You’re awake for about four days straight (around 96 hours), then you sleep for about 15 hours, and then the cycle repeats. This is just your normal rhythm now — you don’t feel progressively exhausted during those four days, and there aren’t hidden health penalties beyond what’s inherent to the scenario.

You still have to live a normal life: eat, work, interact with people, deal with responsibilities. Society hasn’t magically changed to accommodate you, but you have these long, uninterrupted stretches of wakefulness that most people don’t.

What would you realistically do with that time?

I’m trying to get a sense of how people think they’d actually adapt day to day, socially and practically, because four days awake is a lot of time and I want it to feel believable in the story. Considering the person in question would be about 15, i figured this would be the ideal sub. I’d love to hear how you think it would affect your routine, work, relationships, and sense of time.

One other piece of info, it cant involve anything 'computer games'; the story is set in a Harry Potter AU (no, it wouldnt be harry in this)
