top posting: agree with Christian that "night shift" is not an impossibility.My earlier comment only meant to support Stewart's observation of "a consistent message about 109 schedule from US participants"

Lixia,
This is on top
of the issues people have mentioned: your surroundings and
surrounding people go by local time, making sleep hour
adjustment (to remote meeting time) difficult, a big factor on
its own.
(about a consistent message about 109 schedule from US
participants: my guess is that 109's 9pm-3am pacific schedule
affected US, especially pacific people most? I recall 108 was
4-9AM pacific, which was manageable)
For those of us on the US east coast, it was midnight-6AM. There are plenty of professions in which people have to work the
night shift. They encounter exactly all the problems that we see
described here, having to sleep during the day time, eating at odd
hours, not socializing with their family, etc. It is hard, but the
people doing that manage, including those who have my age. I
suppose it is a matter of setting expectations with your family
and your job. -- Christian Huitema
