I've noticed that I often wake up to some notifications after going to sleep at midnight local time. It's like opening some presents every morning.
I admit it, I'd be disappointed if I woke up and checked and no one had replied to me overnight.
Definitely my feeling too!
Me too. I often post stuff before going to bed and wake up to dozens of reply the next day
American here. When I start seeing European posts in my All feed I know I've stayed up too late and need to go to bed. It's fun to see them, too. Sometimes I almost think I can understand the Dutch headlines.
That happens to Germans when they get drunk too. Same language
I've heard that the Dutch are really Germans who suffered head injuries. Since they cannot drive safely in their condition, they were sent to the Netherlands to recover where they can get around on foot or on bicycle.
Ha ha ha, makes sense for you to have the opposite perspective!
As an American who works nights, it's been a trip. In the best possible way.
Lol yeah my posts get zero traffic until after I wake up so i miss out on being able to respond usually
Still up? Yeah I kinda like when I pop off 10 comments and get nothing, go to bed, and then wake up and they have a bunch of upvotes and replies. It's a nice little surprise but it does make it hard to hold a conversation sometimes
That's been exactly my experience so far lol
Morning from Asia!
Hello!
I'd throw you way off. I'm in the U.S. but I'm usually awake by 4 am (thanks, dogs), my lunch is at 10:45 and I'm usually in bed by 8 due to the aforementioned dogs waking me up at 4.
Hello fellow forced to be morning bird! Not dogs for me though sadly, work. Critters go nuts once they know I'm up though!
Work starts at 7. At this point, I sort of enjoy having 3 hours of quiet before work. I have a relaxing cup of tea, I exercise, I hang out with the mutts, etc. It does suck that I have to be in bed so early, but it sucks more for my wife because I can't be out late anywhere at this point. If I try really hard, I can stay up until 10. It took excess caffeine to get me to stay up until midnight on NYE (I can't remember why I had to now).
And what sucks is that if I do stay up late, I can't sleep in the next day because the dogs wake me up! I wish I was the sort of person that can just go back to sleep once they've been woken up, but when I'm awake, I'm awake.
Good afternoon from Asia! (UTC+8)
Good afternoon!
Good morning from Australia!

Oh man, I always hated it. When the Americans come out I find the quality of Internet discourse drops significantly and the chums come out in force.
Americans are chuds, Europeans are snobs. It is known.
