Reply to comment by Bsmith0799 in TIL Pluto hasn't completed an orbit around the sun since its discovery. Pluto's orbit takes about 248 years, and Pluto was discovered in 1930. by irbinator
Harder to guess because Alaskans still have circadian rhythms - that's a basic biological function built into your brain, that a lot of life on earth evolved with. (I assume circadian rhythm predates humans, because other animals have it, too.)
In a tidally locked world, there would be no circadian rhythm, at least not one driven by the day/night light cycle. I mean yeah they'd probably still need to sleep but the underlying biological mechanisms would be completely different
