It discards the traditional notion of sleeping at night and replaces it with sleeping when it is more convenient for weekend parties and mid-week insomnia. It is one of the alternative day lengths that will sync with the widely accepted and practiced 168-hour week (168 = 7×24 = 6×28), with another option being eight 21-hour days.

-For a system with an integer number of hours in an integer number of days (thus not invoking fractions while keeping both the basic hour and the week consistent with current usage), you could distribute each of the prime factors of both 24 and 7 (i.e. 2, 2, 2, 3 and 7) to either the baseline "hours in a day" ''or'' "days in a week" value to produce a 'valid' week-synchronous scheme in sixteen unique combinations: [zero to three '2's] × [zero or one '3's] × [zero or one '7's] factored into the value of one, and all remaining options applied to other. This includes the extreme possibilities of a single '168-hour day' or 168 'one-hour days'.

 Aside from the usual 24×7 itself, 21×8 and 28×6 are the closest possible distributions to our habitual {{w|circadian rhythm}}s and some research indicates that daylight-active creatures (such as ourselves) can adapt more to periods ''slightly'' longer than 24 hours better than those that are correspondingly shorter, especially with compatible cycles of light. Whether any such plan is sustainable may be another matter.
