Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
In this post I will help you in finding out, who is sleeping when and how long they sleep. With an application called Sleeping Time.

Just go to sleepingtime.org and enter the twitter name of the person of whom you want to know the sleeping time…

It uses the timestamp of the last 500 or so updates of a twitter user to calculate that person’s sleeping time.

I have searched for mine ( @Jajodia_Saket ) and here what they tells 3am and 11am (or 8 hours) according to my long-in time its right.
