I figured the other post was leaving out a bunch of people.

State age (or age range), college/job status, time you stop using your mac, and bed time.

I just like to read before bed

Scary thing is I'm old enough to be his father too! :eek:

I'm usually in bed by 21:30 on week days.
Stop using my Mac (ie. posting on MR) about 10 minutes later.
Actually I use my PowerBook to play audiobooks while I sleep. It's on a timer so an hour after I start the timer the audiobook stops and the PB sleeps.
 
19, university (on break now)
but usually I go to bed 2-3am, stop using my mac whenever I go to bed... I'm on it all night. Sometimes it's as late as 4-5am since I have nothing to do during the day.

One school starts though it's more 1-2am
 
39
Software / Hardware Engineer
working 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
sleep - 12 a.m.
mac - 12 a.m.

I have to take Ambien to go to sleep and usually stop using the Mac at the same time I go to sleep ;)

It got me once. Those that have a Macbook Pro know how sharp the front edge of the laptop is and one night I was working and fell asleep and Bang! I woke up and the bridge of my nose was hurting and bleeding. I thought, that hurt and started to type again. Bam, it happened again and I decided it was time to go to bed.

I just got it not too long ago so i still have that "new toy" addiction going
 
20
Student, but I'm working, usually 9:30-5:30
MB goes to bed around 10:30, and I'm usually asleep by midnight.
 
29
Software Engineer/Project Manager
work ~8-9am to ~6-7pm
Go to bed at around 12pm-1am
Stop using Mac at that time
Computer is always on... downloading stuff, running tests, etc.
 
19 (nearly 20!)
Part-time student
Hmm. . I fall asleep anywhere from 8pm - 6am
I also find it kinda difficult to fall asleep so. . :eek: I often wake up with my laptop in my bed. But MSN and Chris Pirillo videos really help me sleep! :D
 
21
Student, but currently unemployed for the summer
Mac gets turned off around: 9:45 p.m.
Go to bed around: 10:00 - 11:00 p.m.
Fall asleep around: 11:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. (sometimes 1:00 - 2:00 a.m.)
 
Just subtract however long it takes me to turn off the light and walk upstairs from my day and that's how long I use my computer.

I also turn it on or sit down at it very first thing in the morning every single day.

In other words unless I have something specific to do outside, I am at (one of my) computer(s) pretty much 24/7 and even then, I sometimes take my laptop out to the store/show whatever with me.

Failing that I have my iPod touch with me at all times also.

Sad, no? :(
 
22
Indie game dev person so my hours are completely flexible but I like to get 5-7 hours work a day.
Bed at 0000-0200
Up at 0700-0900

Mac gets used any time of the day. Usually after a mind burning programming session, relax with a TV episode or something :)
 
21
Working Full Time
In bed at 9pm during the week
In bed when ever on weekends
Mac is on when i get up in the morning and from 5pm (when i get home from work) till 9pm
 
Foolish mortal. Your feeble intellect could not comprehend the intricities of my slumber and computer usage. Suffer!

university student (finished 2nd year about a month ago)
summer internship 8:30am-4:30pm
during school & start of summer bed-time was all over the place...usually between 4am-6am
now with work starting bedtime is 12am-1:30am and im on my PC (soon to be mac) in bed till i sleep (like now)
 
19, I stop using my mac 5 mins before I go to bed and I go to bed around 10-11, I would take my mac to bed with me, I just prefer to take people these days :eek:
 
I'm "29" ;)

I use the macs at random times and most often during the day hours. Not very often when the husband is home in the evenings and weekends, as I much prefer time with him over time with computers. (duh!)

Bedtime - usually before 11pm all days of the week, maybe midnight on the weekends. :eek: :p (We're lazy old sods like that.)
 
38 (I think, can't always remember)

wouldn't say what I do is work, I just turn up and talk
weekdays around 10:30 unless I'm in sunny london for the week (like this week) then will be no later that 10:00 - have to be up at 5:30 to get down to london.

don't have a defined time that I stop using my mac.
