I dunno, I think this still reveals some patterns:

Typically asleep around 5-8AM despite irregular sleep schedule, generally including 4 and 9 AM as well.

Frequently staying up to around 2 or 3 AM.

Lunch typically around 12, lull in work after lunch = more time to browse and make comments.

Dinner typically at 7. Spike in browsing HN after dinner while full, then focus on work or relax for a couple hours, before starting to drift off and get back to browsing HN around midnight.

Happy to hear if this is close or way off haha. But I suspect despite the patterns not being as clearcut, this is still enough to pinpoint your time zone within a couple hours.




> Typically asleep around 5-8AM despite irregular sleep schedule, generally including 4 and 9 AM as well.

At the time this data was taken, yes, I would generally be asleep at around 7-8 AM; usually that either meant I'd get up at 9 AM (if I had things to do) or past 12 PM (if I didn't).

> Frequently staying up to around 2 or 3 AM.

Yes, this is usually when I went to bed. Occasionally this would push towards 6 AM.

> Lunch typically around 12, lull in work after lunch = more time to browse and make comments.

I ate lunch around 1 or 2 PM, since I'd often wake up at about 12 PM.

> Dinner typically at 7. Spike in browsing HN after dinner while full, then focus on work or relax for a couple hours, before starting to drift off and get back to browsing HN around midnight.

Sounds about right.

Could you do it if I didn't add the hour labels?
