Yeah, you've got to let your peeps sleep. Pausing the game and "peeking" after they've gone to bed keeps them exhausted.

I have 5 games going. Two are "day" games, and the other 3 are "reverse day/night" games. When I get up in the morning, I first check the "night" people. They eat, clean the house and themselves, read emails, whatever needs to be done. When everyone is full and everything is done, I switch to another night game. After the night games are sorted, I "wake up" my day people...doing all the things I do for the night people. THESE are the people I check on during the day. The "night" people I check on after 7 pm or so.

For me "daytime" is about 9:30 am to 7:30 pm. and nighttime is the opposite.

I rarely have exhausted peeps, except at the end of their "day".
