As someone who needs 8 hours of sleep per night or I'm a walking zombie, I'm amazed at people that regularly get by on 4-6 hours per night. These people have 14-21 more hours awake than I do per week.
I suspect a lot of the people who play games like this fall into the needing less sleep category. I'm definitely not one to criticize it - I'm after all asleep during that time.
I tend to go to bed between 22:00 and 22:30. I get up at around 6:30. Unfortunately this doesn't feel like it's getting me enough sleep; I'm still very drowsy in the morning and don't feel as refreshed as I could. I also need a nap in the afternoon. And on Sundays, I could sleep all day long if nothing or nobody woke me up... sleep deprivation?
And yeah, I will totally feel like a zombie if I go to bed any later than I usually do.
Some do. For me, it screwed up my sleep patterns, so I don't stroll around at 04:00 AM during the week anymore. But a lot of players are students; they often can afford to sleep 'till noon.
People also often organize at more humane hours, like early evening during the week or around noon during weekend. The thing about 4-am actions is that they're based on the expectation that the other team will be asleep. There's a big imbalance of power favouring offense over defense, so if your team is setting up a farm (quickly turning all portals in a portal-dense area into maximum level and installing protection mods), it can take one or two opposing players to undo the work of ten from your team.
