Are You Awake?
When does WA members sleep?
Last night I put down the computer and cell phone at 8 pm to listen to a radio report by our Government celebrating 3 years in office; I heard one voice for about 10 minutes and fell asleep.
I woke up at 11.30 pm, much to the amusement of my wife who remarked : "it was the best sleeping pill, you went fast asleep."
After 30 minutes on the cell phone I went back to sleep, and true to form I was awake again at 2.30 am.
My affair with the cell phone is growing, ; I was answering and responding to blogs until 2.30 am. To my surprise there were other members awake, unless we are in different time zones; three members responded to my comments in less than 15 seconds; that was between 2.30 am and 4.am, Don't you guys sleep?
The issue of loosing ranking at the expense of being active on the various platforms was again addressed, nobody likes to lose ranking; There must be a solution to balance this process, or it could interfere with one of the greatest assets of WA, the community help.
One member remarked about the changes in the length and quality of comments; Is it possible that there could be a link to the same issue. I feel sure that Admin are wearing their thinking caps.
You can learn on WA in the least expecting ways; Someone blogged about being hacked, which lead to the revelation of a comment by Kyle that all WA sites are protected.
Does that mean that I can delete the plugin I use for security purposes- IP Geo Block?
Please share your thoughts on the issues raised.

I saw that hacked thread too last night and was pleased to read Kyle's response that Wa is very secure.
I tend to stay awake a lot at night. Last night I never went to sleep, I read, worked on WA for a while, then got on netflix and watch a movie. I've been working on my accountability spreadsheet this afternoon, planning my blog posts for the next 2-3 weeks. I even went on fiverr and ordered a gig for someone else to create a 1200-1500 word blog for me that I will finish up and post next week (one of those "best of ....2018) ones. I'm going to do one of them each week and hope my traffic picks up. I'm trying to find a fiverr person that can help me create content when I have some extra cash. So I'm back on Swagbucks earning gift certificates for my Amazon orders so I can spend my $ on blog writers. I need to catch up with a number of blog posts for my bootcamp site.
Do you have to do all your work on your smart phone? I would go nuts having to "finger-type" and not use my mouse and keyboard. - Shirley
I have not watched a movie in a longctim I use the cell mainly at nights while lying in bed but during the day I use the laptop and both when doing research. research on cell and type on computer.I never learnt to type so I use one finger or pen on cell and my own system of both hand on computer whic t is getting better and faster every day
I was wondering if you had a notebook. Working at night again, its 3:50am here in Arkansas.
I'm wide awake; been folding clothes and straightening the house. and reading posts on WA. - Shirley
I keep 2 diaries and use one as a note book but when I am researching it saves time to use 2 devices.Well its 5.15 am so I will text my daughter in UK and then grab another hour or two of sleep. The Gallery opens at 9 am.Good Morning all.
I am a terrible night owl, with erratic sleeping habits Courtney. Sometimes I am up until 7am writing , other times I fall asleep at 10pm and wake up at 3am.
It might not be the healthiest habit, but I produce best in the wee hours of the morning, soI know that feeling!
Do you just crash at some time? I have been sleeping in 3 hour shifts since college days.and I have always worked better at nights but since I have been self-employed since 1969 I can go to sleep when ever I feel the need
Don't you know that no one here at WA ever sleeps. lol. The only thing I know about security on my sites, that I have pruchased through Wealthy Affiliate. Is that I don't have a security problem.
I am discovering the truth about WA members and sleep.Have you always known that your site was protected at WA
It's never bad to be doubly protected Courtney.
Rest is very important, I was on WA all hours and I hope that I don't go there again. I got burned out and it took me a very long time to come back.
It had nothing to do with ranking it was just me learning and I am still learning my website is running and I need to focus more on that so that is what I am going. I limit myself to answering a couple posts a day that is all the rest I delete.
There are enough ambassadors out there that really love this kind of thing and maybe there websites don't need so much attention.(0:
that is a complement

I agree you need rest. I sleep a minimum of 6 hours a day but there are times I just lie and revel in an atmosphere of nothingness.. The ambassadors has websites also and some are feeling the pinch.
Great post I enjoyed reading it very much. I stay up until about midnight every night working on my site and answering emails. It is the time difference. That is why it seems late.
I don't think it is just the time zone as you can see if you read dome of the comments. Sometimes I am waking at midnight after my first sleep.
Different time zones make all of this very interesting. I usually feel so good to see that I can get a comment anytime of day or night if I need one. And, sure, there are many guys who sleep very few hours to ensure their online business via WA works. Were it not for some circumstances, not many of us want to continue in our day jobs a day longer. Lol!
As a self-employed person I can't speak on a day job,but for the total of 4 years in a day lob I really enjoyed my work and looked forward to it.
Thanks for the info but as one comment stated there is no harm in double insurance. What do you think?

Courtney, you have A good point about security precautions.
Like I mentioned in one of my blogs that "We must keep on the watch!"
As my sleeping hours have actually changed since joining WA.
I'm normally up until 5 am everyday! I goes to sleep around 6am.
We online workers are being hacked by an intruder.
