The Quiet Period

[Loony BoB]

Generally surrounding 5am PST, there is a period of time where most AmeriCanadians drop off the internet while all those in Europe are out at work. This got me looking at the Who's Online list today and noticing who is and is not online around this time. A lot of people from East Asia, Australia and New Zealand are online during their peak hours which exist around this period, but I also notice the odd person living in Europe or America still around. So, to those Europeans and American individuals: What are you doing online at this time? Do those living in Europe go online while at work (like me!) or at college? Do some of you Americans just never sleep? Out with it!

EDIT: For reference, 5am PST is around two hours before this post was made. I think.

Well, for me, I was sleeping. I'm only up right now because I have spare time and I didn't feel like going back to sleep.

[Aerith's Knight]

i got up an hour ago.. i had no classes today :) yaay! :p

[~*~Celes~*~]

School's cancelled 'cause of cruddy weather, BoB :bigsmile:

[Sergeant Hartman]

I have a 4 hour break from college :hat:

[DK]

University is out. :monster:

[Flying Mullet]

I start work between 6:00-7:00 AM several mornings during the week. This thread was created around 6:40 AM for me, so that's why I am on during The Quiet Period.

[Loony BoB]

Mulley: Do you work from home, or take very little time to get to work, or do you go online while at work?

[Flying Mullet]

I work from home. :chef:

[oddler]

My usual online time is while I'm at work. 3 PM to 11 PM. I'm up now because I can't sleep. For more information, you can visit Rantzien's usernotes.

[Baloki]

We all know anytime BoB's around everyone flees!

[Madame Adequate]

Of course I plain have no uni on Mondays. :count:

[Jess]

I still have germs. :(

[edczxcvbnm]

I was trying to wake up for work.

[Bunny]

EoFF is always open on my computers. Forever refreshing.

[Jessweeee♪]

I likes to get on at school during first period, which starts at 6:30 PST!

[XxSephirothxX]

My normal sleep period is somewhere between midnight and 10 am PST. Then my activity is simply up to my responsibilities for the day.

[fire_of_avalon]

5 am PST is 8 am for me. I'm getting up to get ready for life.

[Peegee]

This thread is confusing. Would it kill you to use GMT +/- xyz ? I'm GMT-5 for example (when there's no DST)

Right now at this moment I'm at work. In about 3 hours I am home from work. I started work about 5.5 hours ago.

[scrumpleberry]

This thread is confusing.

Yeah, idk about anything but GMT. Not a criticism but I'm confuddled XD

[Loony BoB]

The quiet period would cover...

2am PST to 8am PST. That's California.
5am EST to 11am EST. That's New York.
10am GMT to 6pm GMT. That's the UK.

There we go.

[Roto13]

I might have still been hear in the early part of the quiet period this morning. I went to bed late. :P

[Disco Potato]

I've been going to bed around 3-5 am a lot the last few months, and I've pulled a couple of all-nighters recently, so I'm sure I've gone on EoFF at least a few times during the quiet period to relax/procrastinate a little.

[Shauna]

10am to 6pm? From 10am to 4pm, I'm at school and I can't access EoFF at school dammit. :( And from 4pm til 6pm I'm usually here - or doing homework, or playing the PS2. Whichever. :D

[Tasura]

I've been out of class since the 29th, and classes don't start again until the 9th of January, so I either rarely sleep, or always sleep.

[drotato]

I'm sorry... I just couldn't help myself. ;~; :kaocry2:

[Aerith's Knight]

I'm sorry... I just couldn't help myself. ;~; :kaocry2:

its.. alright?.. am i missing something?

[Yamaneko]

5am for some Americans isn't that early. Blue collars wake before this.

[Aerith's Knight]

its 4 am now.. lol if i didnt have to get up at 8 but at 5.. ow dear god.. i have to get up at 8.. :O

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

If I'm awake at 4:30, it will invariably be because I haven't gone to bed yet. That's way too early for me to ever wake up.

[Flying Mullet]

All quiet on the western front...


It is nice not having a lot of activity right now, because it gives me a chance to browse over the activity from 5:00 pm to 6:00 am (-6 GMT or CST).

I'm unemployed. :(

[James Leopold]

I am slowly dying from manflu. I decided to show my dedication to this site and spend my last few hours leaving posts. Farewell my dear friends!

[Tallulah]

At that time I'm either out at work or still in bed! :D
