Longer Lifespan

By Julia Schmeelk | December 16, 2017 |

What do you think a longer lifespan would mean in your life? Dragons live 200-250 cycles, each cycle is 460 days. Each day is 36 earth hours. If you were to do the math, I think you would agree that dragons have a significantly longer life on NewEarth than even the humans of New earth. The humans live to be around 100 years on New Earth, a significantly longer life than we enjoy here on the old planet of origin.

Now that I set the equation for comparison, what would you do with all that extra time? What promises could be met? What kinds of dreams fulfilled? If progression of aging holds to the pattern the last 20 would be slowing down, a gradual unwinding.

Like most humans, I would probably still ask for “more”. I can see how having an extra 12 hours a day could be beneficial, but I’m certain that I would find a way to fill that up and still not get all of my work completed.

Out of curiosity, how does the extended hours in a day effect the human sleep cycle?

Humans adjust as much as they can and sleep when they are tired.
