    Fact: There also seems that people living in urban counties go to bed later.

  2. Every time I see a time zone map I’m amazed that part of Florida is only an hour ahead of part of Oregon.

    Correlates with the time zone boundaries, which makes sense. It the sun is out late, it understandably pushes the circadian rhythm back too

    They go to bed at 11am?

    Edit: Just realised this is in 12 hour format

    Wrong way round. That’s how timezones have been shaped by human behaviour. The human behaviour here is shaped by mountains, rivers, rain shadows, and politics

    Wait, so the average bed time in this country is like 11pm? Do these people not work?

    the western states go to bed early because alot of work out there is in the mornings, due to them commonly interracting with easterners virtually.

  8. You go to bed by 11pm? Wow, late, I’d say. I’m by now in bed by 10 and sleep at 11.

    When do you folks get up?

    1109 as a bed time is unreal to me. Hell Im closer to waking up at 1109 than going to bed.

  10. Every sporting/pop cultural event on TV ends at like 11pm EST so makes sense to me.

    I believe it’s also been shown that if you live at the western side of your time zone your life is measurably shorter than the eastern side due to the cumulative impact of less sleep.

    It doesn’t actually seem like the time zones affect the behavior that much. What I mean by that is that people are going to bed at the same time regardless of the time zone. On either side of the time zone in Kentucky they are going to bed simultaneously but at different times. If that makes sense

    At least for me in the southwest, temperature has a lot to do with sleep time. I’d rather be up early when the mornings are cool, so I can get my runs in.

    Funny that the western most parts of the time zones are later. I suppose the sun goes down later, but alternatively it rises later. I had a terrible time waking up for school as a child living in Ohio.

    I always kinda knew this intuitively, but it’s interesting to see in a visual format that people toward the western edge of a given time zone tend to stay up later than those on the eastern edge

  16. The times are oddly specific. 11:09, 11:16, 11:22. I personally would have just said around 11:30.

    Being on the east coast everything was on late. Id have yo stay up until 11 to watch conan, night games commonly ended past 11. Now i live west every thing is over before 10

    The map title says how time zones shape behavior but the map shows how people go to bed at different times based on where they are in the time zone, so it’s really showing how day/night cycles shape behavior independent of time zones.

    Obviously there are places especially in the eastern time zone where people go to bed at similar times across the zone but the map to me looks more like how people go to bed at different times because of where they are in the time zone.

    The younger generations definitely skew the maps. I’m sure most between 18-25 go to bed between 2-5 in the morning on weekends.

  20. It’s because way more people are in the eastern half of the United States .

    The west coast though has or had pre Covid way more 24 hour stores than what I have seen in the Midwest

    That dark blue square in east-central Illinois is Champaign county, home of the University of Illinois. Turns out college kids go to bed late.

    See also Spain- which is in the wrong time zone thanks to Franco loving Hitler and now everyone eats dinner at 11pm

    I call BS. Where’s 9:30-10PM? It’s when everyone I know hits the rack. After 11PM, that’ll ruin the next morning.
