I know I'm not in the same time zone. At least I do now, I looked over on the date to one of my post and it told me it is tomarrow. and not only that but it's the middle of the night as well.

so, longwinded as that is I was wondering, are most of us from different time zones or what?

also any other illogical explainations other than "living in different time zones." will be accepted and actually enjoyed. I think it's nice to keep an open mind.

yup time zones it is, UK is GMT 0
Australia is GMT +8 to +10
USA is GMT-4 to -12
Africa is GMT 0 to +4 (S. Africa is +2)
S. America is GMT-3 to -5

all very approximate and I think I've covered the fforum, do beg pardon if I missed your timezone

I think you've got all the major areas represented. Just to clarify, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.

Another explanation is that some of us are college students, which means we keep to a schedule that has nothing to do with the actual brightness of the sky outside. For instance, I am frequently browsing the fforum at 2 or 3 in the morning (although right now it's only 12:30--the night is young!)

And, in the Control Center (look out for the link), you can even choose on which time zone you wish to live to on the fforum.

Time of day means nothing, true, but I try to get to sleep at or before 0000 every night.

Cursed 0745 lectures....

I thought 0745 lectures were for sleeping..........

eww, 0745 Lectures? I use to make sure that all my classes started around 0900 just so I could get there on time. Use to be a commuter,

lol i sleep in the 9am lectures and sometimes the 10am ones as well. Its been over a week since I slept when it was dark outside.

Students share your revison potions! I've gone off coffee it doesnt really work and it gives caffeine shakes. The all new one is green tea with ginkgo biloba, ginseng, echinacea, extract of gotu kola and ginger. tastes awful but I sweeten it with honey and add copious quantities of blackcurrent juice, makes its ok.

I don't drink coffee at all, never really cared for it. liked sprite though, and diet sprite (once you start drinking it you can't taste the diffrence, but you have to get past that first few weeks or so)

Sweet tea that is sweetener that is not sugar, is what I mostly drink....

To keep myself awake in one math class I watched the clock's second hand and tried to hold my breath until it made a complete rotation. once you start to breath again you get few seconds of attention back. I looked nuts but I stayed awake.

I did once sleep through a 1 pm class. Unfortunately, I've slept through more than a few 9:15 am classes. I'll wake up in time tomorrow, though!

Red Eye. Or Kombucha. Or Red Eye *mixed* with Kombucha.

Failing that, try eating a large bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. Dark chocolate of course!

Having lectures that started at 10am always helped me.

I wasn't Timest, my slumber patterns were usually content related!

Sleep is for the weak, I say...

Sleep for a week.... Yum....

I have no say in when my lectures are. Unfortunately.

Sleep is a luxury I wish I could afford. Although, I have a deep admiration for anyone who can go without and still function. Alas, I have an addiction to the stuff. Do they have a rehab for that?

I have an 0800 class (on a SATURDAY!) and the professor insists on turning the lights down! Needless to say most of the class sleeps. Since it's finance we'd probably all sleep anyway.

I would. Science subjects++

I once had a teacher who would fall asleep during lectures when he had to put on films he'd seen a hundred times to illustrate a point.

We had great fun swapping seats before he woke up and then watching him sleepily try to work out what was going on.
