I heard that hotels wait until about 2am to move any bodies that my have accumulated during the day. It's easier and less disconcerting to any residents this way.

There once was a man from Perth
Who was born on the day of his birth
He was married they say
On his wifes wedding day
And he died when he quit the Earth.

That's one good limerick, or whatever that is.  My thoughts of poetry are far away, it's summer!
I agree, I seem to remember that most deaths are sometime around then.  I think that's because of murders, though.  A lot of bars close then, and the drunken fools go out and drunkenly kill who they want to. X(
I think that most babies seem to be born at night.  I was born around 4 pm.  That's almost night time.

    Actually All AM births are considered mornings. afternoon and evenings end at 1159 PM! 1 minute before midnight!

    The common time of death is around 4.30am asuming people go to bed at 11 pm it gives us approximately 5.5 hours of flat bedrest. around this point there is a 2 degree drop in body temperature, with references in most of the medical training manuals. We confirmed this also using mouth temperature measurements and an alarm clock to wake us at a given time, we then tilted our bed and performed the same procedure on a five degree incline with the head of the bed raised by 15 cm's giving a level but tilted sleeping angle of five degrees to the horizontal.

    When our measurements over several days were ploted on the same graph in the training manual showing the flat bed rest drop, We could compare the graphs, My interest at the time was in solving cot deaths using IBT. which I have mentioned previously in the forum. The results showed a clear difference with IBT providing a stable graph line with no noticable drop in temperature other than minor peaks and troughs, wheras the flat bed provided the predicted 2 degree drop in body core temperature.

    Doing a google using "common time of death" revealed the AM's have it, which should tell us all something about sleeping flat, but I doubt this message will sink in.

    Andrew, i may be wrong and it is not nit picking. But that would presume that you fall asleep precisely the moment you go to bed..11pm. Also 4.5 hours after that would be 3.30am, if my maths is right....like i said could be wrong and in no way am i nit picking, i just want to understand what you are saying.

    Also, would the act of being woken by the alarm clock not increase you body temp? you wake up sharply, and it's "all systems go" time to crank up the heat and get everything working.
