The emptiness and lull in activity experienced by extreme internet-junkies and gamers during the early morning hours after everyone else has either gone to bed or is getting up to go to work, so named because this is when servers typically shut down for scheduled maintenance. This term transcends the local lull in activity experienced by people who stay up all night partying, having the distinction that no matter where you are in the world or what schedule you keep, and no matter how many different time zones the people you interact with are in, if you are on an English-speaking website you're probably going to experience a noticeable drop in activity around those hours.
Oh man, where'd everybody go? Just a moment ago I was having amazing conversations in like 15 different browser tabs and now nobody is saying anything! Must be 5am Pacific Time.

The constant suffering of missing out on events, social interaction, or not being able to be with your friends in some way because by the time you are available everyone else has already gone to bed
You always wake up too late to say good morning to anyone, its noon for them

A hidden advantage for West Coast teams over teams from the East, especially on a weekday in basketball, since games are often played later in the day than in football. A team from the West Coast can't lose either way on time. If their game is home, they start around 10 at night, and end after midnight, at a time most of an East Coast audience is asleep on a weeknight. If their game is away, it's like playing at 4 in the afternoon on their time which is also still a regular time for a basketball game. No matter what, the other team is always on their time, which helps them out tremendously.
Pacific time wins games, it's not something a team from the West Coast has to fight against, it works for them and not against.

An advantage for West Coast teams in basketball over East Coast teams, since basketball games are usually played later in the day than football games. It is especially an advantage on weeknights and the night before a work week begins (Sunday night). Playing a home game is at a regular time for a West Coast team, while it's running from 10 to after midnight for a team from the East, a time when most of the audience is asleep or has their back turned to a TV.
