How different would living organisms be on a planet with a different day/night cycle than Earth? I think a 36 hour day would be interesting for humans to adapt to.

I don't think much different. I think they would eat more if they had to be awake more. It seems like most creatures on earth that have no rhythm are creatures like worms that are constantly eating, etc.
I dunno lol.
As for the human aspect, it has weird effects on us. I once heard, though this could be wrong so google it, that there were issues with lame sex drives in the early astronaut programs because of a lack of day/night. The astronauts came home and couldn't get it up easily until they readpated. Or some shit.

Circadian rhythm is 25 hours, can't be fixed quickly because it's the result of genetic evolution. With sunlight, however, you can adjust it (in fact it's constantly adjusting because it's 25 hours long, not 24 hours), but I don't know if it'd stretch comfortably to 36 hours.

having worked all sorts of messed up shifts for my job at UPS, I can say relativly comftorbly that messing with day/night times basically makes you tired. you'll survive, adapt eventually, but you'll be tired alot more.

Circadian rhythm was invented so men could remember when to go for their daily fap.

I wouldn't mind if the earth switched to a 30 hour cycle (ignoring the geological effects, of course). There always seems to be a shortage of hours in the day lately.
