Star Snores

Blogger Amit Agarwal’s website now sifts through the Twitter posts of celebrities to deduce who sleeps when and for how long.

A website by one of India’s more famous bloggers, Amit Agarwal, now sifts through the Twitter posts of celebrities to deduce who sleeps when and for how many hours. “Every tweet has a time stamp. An algorithm looks through the 500 to 600 previous tweets of the person and then figures out the time when that person is least active,” says Agarwal. Some of the results don’t seem true. We know Shah Rukh Khan is a late sleeper, but to say that he goes to bed from 4 pm to 10 pm is making him into… not even a bat. Priyanka Chopra’s sleeping hours are also given as 6 pm to 12 am.  “This is because they inadvertently give a wrong time zone while setting up the Twitter account,” Agarwal says. Here are the sleep hours of some other film stars from labnol.org/ascii-art/bollywood.html:

»Akshay Kumar @akshaykumar: 1 am to 9 am

»Hrithik Roshan @iHrithik: 2 am to 10 am

»Abhishek Bachchan @juniorbachchan: 7 am to 2 pm

»Bipasha Basu @bipashabasubips: 11 pm to 7 am

»AR Rahman @arrahman: 2 pm to 10 pm

»Deepika Padukone @deepikapadukone: 2 am to 8 am
