    You could actually sleep on the south pole or north pole. Time zones are pretty well toast at that point.

    What if you do that and you roll in your sleep? If you roll in your sleep and nobody sees you, did you change time zones?

    Also, what frame of reference? How fast, and what is the gravitational field? Different parts of your body will be in slightly different frames of reference. When viewed from one frame of reference, perhaps your left side gets 8 hours of sleep but your right side gets slightly less.
