I think I'd prefer a 25-hour day:

   Early research into circadian rhythms suggested that most people
   preferred a day closer to 25 hours when isolated from external
   stimuli like daylight and timekeeping. However, this research was
   faulty because it failed to shield the participants from artificial
   light. Although subjects were shielded from time cues (like clocks)
   and daylight, the researchers were not aware of the phase-delaying
   effects of indoor electric lights.[45][dubious – discuss] The
   subjects were allowed to turn on light when they were awake and to
   turn it off when they wanted to sleep. Electric light in the evening
   delayed their circadian phase.[citation needed] A more stringent
   study conducted in 1999 by Harvard University estimated the natural
   human rhythm to be closer to 24 hours, 11 minutes: much closer to the
   solar day but still not perfectly in sync.[46]
