I work third shift and this affects my response time

[lrm5195]

I'm going to assume that when it's night time in my area, that Fiverr automatrically shows a "half moon" symbol as if I'm sleeping during this time when in actuality, I'm wide awake and working. This means people who message me during the morning and afternoon are actually messaging me when I'm sleeping. Is there anyway I can change this somehow? Or am I assuming wrong?

Unfortunately, you cannot change this! I also work evenings/nights, and I'm nocturnal on free days too. Overall (with time zones included) I haven't noticed it affects my response time drastically. Of course, sometimes I receive messages and will only respond 8 hours later when I'm awake again. But it cancels it out since I respond to other messages very fast. 

See it like this; you're awake when most people are asleep (in your area of the world). So when those people message you, yes you'll respond 'too late'. However, to those buyers that also have a different schedule or live in a different part of the world, you can respond very fast! 

I see that your response time is 3 hours. That's not bad! And I believe it doesn't turn your stats in the red either. Trust me, if buyers believe you're right for the job they won't care if you respond too late. And they definitely won't be deterred by the 3 hours 🙂
