Early morning. It's really helped me actually, during my pregnancy. I swear I'm so bloated and heavy when I first wake up, that I have to rest in bed for a while. I don't have a tv in my room and I wouldn't want to wake up my boyfriend. So I play ACNL, with headphones on! The town I've been building whilst I've been pregnant is probably the best I've ever made, haha.
I still try to get on once or twice in the afternoon or evening, if I'm not busy. I like to get to the shops and chill with my favourite villagers.
I've long lost my schedule. I used to play it as much as possible every day when it came out. I even got into the habit of playing normally (not fast forwarding) until I broke my DS.
I work at 8:30am - 5pm; So I usually play for about 20min first thing in the morning before work @ around 7:30am.
Then when I get home around 5:30-6pm.
In real time, during the week, I usually play sometime between 6pm and 8pm on days I'm off. When I work, I still play but I usually play later. In terms of what time it is in the game, I keep my 3DS set to 12 hours ahead of my time.
I play on and off through-out the day, the most I've played in one sit-down was an hour and a half. I don;t really work or go to school anymore, so I have nothing but free time to play, haha.
It depends, really. If I'm at college, I'll usually play it in the morning & maybe a little bit in the afternoon. If I'm not at college, I'll usually play it in the afternoon/night. Or at any time, really. I don't really have a specific time.
I usually play it after school so during the evenings. I like playing it in the morning though because it's so light out. I could time travel but I like keeping my game at the time it is in real life.
I usually play late at night, like after 10pm, which is why one of my towns has the Night Owl ordinance : P
Occasionally, I play in the afternoon, but not usually.
Really, really late at night, like 10 p.m. and later. Which is why I always do slight time traveling back to daylight hours, otherwise, everything is closed. ANd no one is out, lol.
For me, it's whenever I can / whenever I feel like playing. Being a college student, I don't have a set daily schedule. For me, it's classes two days a week all in the morning / early afternoon, and another two days a week where it's only in the evening. Kind of a messed up schedule, but it works. Whenever I have schoolwork that needs to be done, I usually do that instead. So, it's more so I play whenever I have free time, when I'm not doing anything, going anywhere, talking to anyone. It's when I have my "alone time" that I bring out my 3DS XL and start playing New Leaf I really do love this game, and it's probably the only 3DS game I still play. Pokemon X hasn't been played in months haha
in the summer it was like-- moment i woke up to the moment i went to sleep (usually 4am smh i was a mess)
now i only play every couple days or so, usually around like 4pm like idk.. an hour after i'm home from school and settled in.
I try to play immediately once I wake up to do dailies, but I play periodically throughout the day and usually at night with friends doing tours. Sometimes I only do my dailies if I'm busy, but I try to get on every single day if only to water my hybrids hehe
