It turns out that people's irregular sleep patterns are in fact not quite as irregular when you actually measure them. On the other hand, I believe HN posting history just says "X days ago" for posts older than a day, so you can't get fine grained schedules from that (I might have graphed yours, otherwise, just to see).
- mirimir 7y agoRight, you'd need to scrape HN real-time to get a detailed posting history. About sleep schedule. I really don't have one. I work and sleep when I feel like it. And I nap. And I have modafinil and zolpidem available. And coffee. If you charted my waking and sleeping times long-term, you'd find pretty much a random walk. I can be up as much as 30-40 hours, or as little as ~1 hour. And I can be sleeping for anywhere from ~1 hour to maybe 15 hours or more.
- zaarn 7y agoYou're more likely to sleep at night than not, that's sufficient to establish your timezone with good accuracy. Fefe, a german blogger, had this analysis done using his posting history on his blog, allowing readers to not only determine his timezone, but when he was travelling and where.
- tripzilch 7y agothen, if I were to make a wild guess I'd say you're in Scandinavia or other high latitude place :)
