When did everyone go to sleep last night in local time?

I passed out around 9pm. I normally stay up a little later but ordered delivery and drank more than usual (recently at least, new years resolution now) so yea....

View on HN

5am local time. My family is Russian, so New Year's is our great big holiday when the whole family gets together and celebrates. If you have no idea why, there's a really interesting thread here (and the article on AO linked from it) that explains it pretty well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21877419

9:30am... dinner with friends ended at 2am then I went to meet my cousin in the city center, from there I went away with a friend of hers only to find a dear friend of mine on the way, the three of us then went to a clubkindofthing where I casually met my younger brother and we stood outside talking and freezing until late/early... then the four of us went to take a cup of tea and something to eat for breakfast and parted ways

happy 2020 HN people!

I normally try and sleep by 7pm. But last night I stayed up super late until 10pm and played video games to celebrate. Both vices I normally don’t make time for.

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

7pm? What time do you eat dinner?

around 5pm with my family

I'm impressed you get a proper nights sleep with eating that close to bedtime.

I can't even get my kids to bed at 7 p.m., at what time do you get up?

Around 345am. It’s nice to have some quiet work/alone time before everyone else wakes up.

OK, that makes sense. But this seems to be really early to me.

Couldn't sleep because of noise from nearby pub or something, people singing old hindi songs just because they have to. Stuff like "gimme some sunshine gimme some rain, and then Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge". You might not know these songs, but I hope you understand my annoyance.

Stayed up til 2am watching YouTube (stuff from the author of Ultralearning mostly) and then got woken up by my 7:30am weekday alarm which doesn’t care if it’s a holiday, and I forgot to turn off.

1.30am. First New Year's Eve home with my wife. Opened a bottle at 00:00, drank wine, smoked a little and fell asleep soon after starting Total Recall!

So far, best NYE ever :D

Had a quiet evening with my wife watching anime (we're in our 30s). I spent about 30 minutes sending (personalized) texts to people I want to keep in touch with in the future -- wishing them the best wishes for 2020. Went to sleep before 1am. I loved it.

PS - Nichijou (anime) is amazing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2li04wn7U4k

Stayed up til after 3am because I was running a virtual fireworks show in an Open Simulator world, and they all run on Pacific time.

This might be my last one, because TBH I'm getting tired of Open Sim, it's a dead end.

I really wish simulated worlds would pick up. They’re just such a cool idea. And now we have VR!

Oh, I think there's potential for virtual worlds, just not the SL/OS type. Something more like Sansar or Sinespace could still catch on.

Or better yet, something that can run in a browser.

I had intended not to stay up, but after spending all day hacking I found myself watching a movie until after 1am as my brain cooled down.

3am local time. Had champagne cheers and chocolate and just chatted with my partner about how this past year went.

Around 2am. Good times on dance floor. Well those that didn't succumb to the sketch food first

22h00 to 11h30 was brutal though. Lull post dinner and everyone was just waiting

Very very happy new year. Can not imagine going to bed with out skimming HN each each night, just missed yesterday and was in bed at about 1 am

I think I came back home around 5-6 AM; rough.
