You appear to be on the wrong time. The Lunatiks describe days as
theoretically becoming longer rather than shorter. The circadian
rhythms is pretty variable from person to person, and cyclic change
being considered. It can't be measured to within `3 cm' as is alleged
for the lunar surface.
Also what is `time'? Seems it is a measuring stick used to measure
change. Is there any reason why the measuring stick might also change?
As a change becomes faster or slower, can we be sure the measuring
stick for time is not changing? Maybe they both vary relative to one
another. There are very precise ways to measure `time' with atomic
clocks - but what if the isotope clocks used vary together? Then the
difference would be so slight as to be negligible? or would it over
millions of years? Does anybody really know what time it is? And where
we are? Or the direction home?
