I am the type of person who wakes up at 6 am, plays for 10-20 mins and is done for the day. Before the lockdown I would play ACNL before school and 1-2 h after I got home from school. And thats it.
I legit never heard the songs between 9 pm - 6 am.
It just hit me that I only play in the morning bc I am missing lots of bugs and fish that appear after 9 pm lol. And that I almost never see Celeste or Shooting stars, only on other's islands.
Also never got how people missed Daisy May, but I am really early hahaha lol
I wish the stores would open sooner tho. You literally cant do much at 6-7 am.
I looooove playing it early. I'm a morning person IRL so it makes sense for me to play in the morning, and that typically is what I prefer to do. The soundtrack at 5 AM is so gorgeous and my favorite out of any of the others in the game. But it's sadly kind of lonely because many of the villagers aren't awake yet, and the shops aren't open either. So I agree! I have been quite spoiled with quarantine and have been playing more at all hours rather than just in the morning, but when life resumes back to normal (hopefully sooner rather than later) I'm going to have to go back to playing in the morning only.
As someone whose waking hours are noon-2 A.M. since it's summer break, I'm the exact opposite. I love Animal Crossing to pieces but my sleep is more important lmao.
The 5 AM vibe is so relaxing as I do my daily tasks. It's a shame more of the villagers aren't awake by then, though I also play at night. Lately, I've been planning my island redesign early in the morning before work, as I'm logging onto the game later to increase my chances of finding my cranky (Chief) crafting.
I wake up at 5am for work, and during the first couple months of the game's release, I would play about 15-20 minutes before heading out the door, however I always return the the game around 4PM. I only work Mon-Fri, so I my play schedule is more free on the weekeneds.
It’s the summer so right now I’m the opposite of an early bird. Once college starts again, I get up as early as 5 AM (so I can get ready for my commute) on some days.
Since I've returned to work last week, I will turn the game on in the morning just to see if I have a campsite villager (I have not so far), and then once I've settled at home after work I'll play in the evening for a little while.
Whilst I was furloughed I did start playing in the morning, but the earliest was in the 9am hour.
i’m the opposite lmao. i typically don’t wake up until around or after noon so there’s been several days where i don’t boot up the game until late afternoon/early evening/night >_<
I play when I wake up most days! However, I normally don’t wake until after 10am nowadays. Hopefully when I start back classes (8ams....yikes) I’ll be more motivated to wake up early and play!
I’m up most mornings between 4&6 as my little boy is always up around those hours so yup! I normally dive for a bit then use the drop box to sell, one morning I built it up to a million bells within about 2 hours easy money for all you who need to re-pay loans/bridges/inclines etc!
I've always been an early bird. I'm a morning person so I can play as early as 5am. Although recently, I only play the game at 9am to make sure all villagers are already awake.
