Calculate When You Are Most Awake

when I'm most tired. As soon as I arrive at work... Zzzzzzz

"Using their website, you can work out your alertness profile for any given day."
Not for much longer, you can't. It's already getting slower...
...but you can also calculate, when their webserver will be asleep!
their website took a little snooze.....
Hangover, drugs imbibed that day, energy expended dancing naked to the Transformers theme song in the morning, etc.
seems to me that saturday morning is the perfect time to post this news...anyone who's awake now (like me) obviously has a problem or a sucky job.

I'm most awake during lunch time. Before and after I'm like one of the apes wondering what that big black box thingy is.
"Is that program finished yet?"
"URGH!"
This is basically a sales pitch. The funny thing is that I don't see anywhere to actually ORDER the pro plus tablets!
Knuckleheads.
I have mod points. The reign of terror begins now.
I'm supposed to be wide awake, right now. So I guess that's why I had to read each question a dozen times before I gave up on ever being able processing a complete sentance again, and clicked on the first number I could recognize (after vainly trying to remember how a drop box works).
Took the test and it said I ... zzzzZZZZZ ZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZ (snore ... whistle ... snore ... whistle ...)
(... hey, is that coffee I smell?)
Research shows that 67% of those who use the term "research shows", are just making shit up.
Being tired at work is *good*. Give the man your worst hours. Keep the good hours for yourself.

... Calculating while most awake .....
is certainly better than calculating while fast asleep ....
"It's really quite simple," he told BBC News Online. "If people are tired during the day then they are not getting enough sleep."
May I please be funded in order to come up with s.th. astounding like that ?

... even without doing the test, I predict that their webserver isn't most awake right now ;-)
Or, you know, you could always just pay attention to yourself.
*honk*
This is my sig. It's prescription, I swear. I need it for reading things... on the other side of things
What a worthless calculator! It only works for bed-times between 6pm and 6am.

I think I was on the last question. It was so exciting seeing a website just listed that hadn't crashed!
I did all the questions and t h e n.....
Now I won't know when to be tired.
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
God I'm tired...
It alternates between telling me I'm most alert at either 4:04 or 5:00 exactly. Not even sure if they are talking about AM or PM.
And what's really odd is it's not even asking me any questions before giving me my results.
I guess they figured out a way to determine when you are most alert based on your IP or something.
About 72 hours after the arrival of my first child, I was more tired than I'd ever been in my life. Just when things were starting to improve, a few years later, along came the second.
At this point, I'm not even making the interest payments on my sleep debt, and the Sandman keeps threatening to send his goons around to beat the rest of it out of me.
Am I part of the core demographic for Swedish Fish?
...after a big pot of coffee.
I fell asleep waiting the page to load due to the slashdot effect.
Who is John Galt?
"It's really quite simple," he told BBC News Online. "If people are tired during the day then they are not getting enough sleep."
And next on BBC:
"If you are thirsty, drink!", scientist claims.
You'll probably get an email about it later.
So many complaints about being tired. You guys should really decrease on your daily dose of sex.
Oh wait.
Wow, sleeping allieves tiredness? The hell you say! How about eating food, will that help this hunger problem?
(Nothing against the parent, just against the company's obvious advice.)
Sigs are like bumper stickers.
Does your planet orbit one or more stars whose electromagnetic output includes light that is visible to your species?
1. Yes
2. No
Does your planet's star (or one of them, in case your planet orbits multiple stars) produce significantly more visible light than any other object in your planet's sky from the point of view of an observer on your planet's surface?
1. Yes
2. No
Is your planet's rotation tidally locked such that one side always faces this object?
1. Yes
2. No
Results: The "sun" (the nearby star discussed above) will "rise" (from the point of view of an observer on your planet's surface) "tomorrow" (where "tomorrow" is one cycle of your planet's rotation relative to its "sun"). If the cycles of night and day on your world are not entirely suitable for you, try taking a 15 minute nap and two Pro Plus pills!
