Here is a link to an article about the study you mentioned. The abstract is fairly easy to understand.

I just read a little of this. I find it fascinating that 2 subjects ended up on a 32hr cycle with alternating 8hr and 16hr sleeps and 24ish hours awake and active. Now this might sound too crazy, in fact, sounds like a fun weekend, but they thought they were awake and sleeping their normal amount.

Not too surprising to me, since I have a strong suspicion that I'd end up just like them if I was in a similar study.

When not actively trying to maintain a schedule, I'll tend to sleep for about 12 hours and be awake for about 20 hours. Makes it a pain in the ass to keep a normal schedule without constant alarms and reminders.
