Martian Time-Slip

Martian Time-Slip is a phenomenon where people working or living on Mars experience a misalignment of their biological clocks with the planet's time cycle. Because Mars has a different day length (about 24.6 hours), adjusting to a new schedule can cause individuals to feel disoriented, suffer from fatigue, or experience sleep disturbances. The term also metaphorically describes the divergence from Earth's routines and perceptions, highlighting how human adaptation to an alien environment can lead to psychological and biological dissonance over time.
