Hi, evryone!!!!!!I am a bit anarchical with my sleep´s hours...Some days I go to bed at 5,00 am, and I only can sleep three hours...Other days Y go to bed at 12.00 am and wake up at 12.00 pm...Sometimes I go to work without sleeping, and when I return home at the evening I sleep five hours and stand up again at 11.00pm...
So, you can see to me at the forum at very differnt hours: when aussies go to bed, when americans are having lunch, when a british is having a cup of tea, when a canadian is waking up...
Well, I´d loke to know what time is it in your cities when it´s 12.00 pm here (SPAIN...GMT +1): so I can imagine what you are doing while I´m here answering the topics..
PS: my english is still horrible...Excuse me

No wonder you fit so well in this forum, Joacquin, as there are apparently quite a few of us who never or rarely sleep
I hope I won't confuse you totally but I actually live in two time zones....
During the day go six hours back and you know what time I am .....in the evening and night hours go back seven hours and you also know what time I am in....well, that would be day and night my time of course...
Now, I am confused
Ok 12 pm.....that is either 6 a.m. or 5 a.m. my time...I am usually on the road to work...so I am literally between both time zones....
I am scheduled to arrive at work 30 min. later....
Are you confused yet?

Hi Joaquin! Well in my case it depends what shift I'm working. This week I'm on night shift so I'm sitting here at work at the moment.
I work one week late shift (so am at home at midnight), one week early shift (then I'm sleeping at midnight), one week night shift (like now), then 2 weeks off (sometimes in bed, sometimes watching TV or listening to music or sitting at the PC).
Except in the early shift I'm always awake until after midnight - I'm a night person - late to bed, late to rise. The late bird gets to have a good lie-in

Hi Joaquin, well Spain is +1 hour infront of us, so when it's 12pm over there it's 11pm here, so I am either getting ready for bed, in bed reading my DSK or here on the pc
I don't know how you could go to work without sleeping though..I'd be like a zombie if I did that

Hi Joacquin
Well here in New South Wales, Australia when its 12pm your time its 10pm here on the same day...so sometimes I'm up and about but most times I try to go to bed early as have to work early....and go on the forum...
But Rae and Trish would be a different time being in SA and Linda would be a different time again being in WA, so I'm sure they can fill u in...

I'm the same time zone as Moey when she's at home but when she's working, she's in the twilight zone

Hi Joaquin, wow you do manage to keep crazy hours.
Like Steve, we are 1 hour behind you but I have to keep fairly regular hours, I am useless if I don't get (almost) enough sleep.
Every year I have two New Years's resoltions:
1. To have even more fun
2. To get to bed earlier
I always manage to keep the first one but never the second!

I have the same resolution to go to bed earlier Rach.....well the result of this year was...I now go to bed at 2 to 2:30am instead of the 1 to 1:30am I was last year.
Well done Dyar

So 2007, you'll be up until 3 to 3:30am
Oh and Moey, yeah you confused me too -- I am in your WORK time zone, not home
But you are only in the twilight zone when you're
but I don't think that has to do with the time change

Hi Joaquin,
I am on GMT + 8 time at the moment but this year our state govt has decided to force us to have daylight savings so starting tomorrow I will be on GMT + 9 until the end of summer so I guess that means this morning when it was midnight for you it was 7am for me but tomorrow it will be 8am when its your midnight. Have I totally confused you? I think I confused myself.
WA is three hours behind NSW at the moment as they have started daylight saving and we haven't but from tomorrow we weill only be 2 hrs behind again. WA is 1.5 hrs behind SA normally too but 2.5 hrs until tomorrow.

Hi there Joaquin,
Here in New Zealand we are in our own time zone (okay okay shared with a few pacific islands, siberia etc.).
It is like ground hog day in this time zone, parcels from ebay tend to drop a week or two as they reach us. TV programs include reruns of American sitcoms that I remember from when I was a child and somewhere not far from me there are dozens of farmers rounding up sheep (their numbers are usually rounded up, so that the farmers can boast they have a bigger floke than their neigboughs).
Okay okay maybe half a dozen farmers then.. I was just doing what they do!
At the time of posting this message it is 7:50pm Sunday here.. but it's 6:50am Sunday in GMT. This means there are less shopping days till xmas here!!!
