Sleeping at Light Speed

Post by deleted-319316 »

Hi! I'm writing a novel for National Novel Writing Month, and I'm looking for a bit of science-y information. I learned about light speed a couple years ago, but my memory's a bit rusty.

In my book, the main character can travel at lightspeed. Say she sleeps about eight hours every night. If she went through her sleep cycle at lightspeed, how long would she sleep for?

Thanks!

LadyMorning - While this isn't a science project issue, you will find some interesting factual information about this phenomena here.
