Work/Life still starts early here too

Do most people start work at 8AM?

8am would be a late start for most people I know. Work starts earlier. Brings up

Indeed there is. Generally East gets less sleep. Prob due to work-life balance

In my experience, East Coast people get up early, but start working around 9

You may have a point on the commuting angle

Best part of moving back West was better sports watching.

I disagree on about all of that

I didn’t know how bad game start times sucked until I moved west from the east coast. Glad you can make lemonade from

I’ve found this to be true as well. Would I prefer earlier? Yes. But almost 8

My 20 yo self agrees. My mid forties self - no way. DVR it and watch in the AM

I’m 42, but feel like I’m 20 if my team wins

Man up, I am 50 and usually go to bed past 11 pm and I am usually up at 5-5:30.

Not worth it. 10PM kickoff means it ends around 2 AM

The best part of living in the East is there aren’t any Utes.

That's true most places in the west too

You’d stay up that late to watch the Jazz?

I hate it. Stayed up until 2am to watch us lose.

Metallicat

and BYU seems to historically lose most of those late games that end at 2 am ET

Fdnman

It was actually just past 1 am (unless you watched the after game interviews)

I was too frustrated to fall asleep right when the game was over.

I live in SC. It’s great and all staying up late to watch these games until they
