When Do Twitter Users Sleep? [APPS]

All you have to do is plug a username into SleepingTime.org's main page. It determines the user's timezone from his or her location and looks at the times of day he or she is least likely to send out tweets. If there's consistently a big block of dead air, it figures that must be when that user sleeps. It even estimates how much sleep he or she is getting.

It's fun to play with these tools to see how accurate they are. In my case it seems like it's not all that accurate, but run your own username through to see for yourself. Here's what the results will look like:

If you use Twitter with a particular activity or place rather than tweeting all throughout the day it doesn't quite work. Since I rarely use Twitter outside of a work context, my chart accurately shows the times of day and night I'm least likely to be working, but it's not representative of my sleep schedule (and you'd be hard-pressed to find a professional blogger who sleeps eight hours every night to begin with).

We're pretty sure it will work pretty well for you if you're a compulsive tweeter, though, so give it a try. The site was designed by a blogger named Amit Agarwal.
