I work remotely from home, in New York (U.S. Eastern).<p>My work day on paper is from 9 am until 5 pm.<p>In actuality, I generally wake up at 9 am or so, shower, eat breakfast and catch up on news until 10 am.<p>10 am until 1 pm I am productive and "working."<p>From 1 pm until 2 pm, maybe 2:30 pm I go to the gym (unless it's a rest day) for 45 minutes, then come back home and eat lunch. Then I sign back on.<p>From 2:30 until 5 pm I am "working" again. If there isn't a pressing need for me to be available I might do a self-debrief of my to-do list and sign off at 4 pm or 4:30 pm. I then leave my office and don't enter it again until work the next day - I completely compartmentalize work life from home life (and respective hours) even though I work remotely.<p>I've made this sort of schedule very much a priority in my life. I am paid very, very well and it allows me to pursue a comfortable work life balance, health, relationships and other projects outside work. I strictly will not work before 9 am or after 5 pm.<p>If I need to run errands during the day, I basically just make it known that "I'm afk" for some estimation of time and come back later.<p>If I receive emails after 5 pm for work, I don't check them until the morning.<p>I'd estimate I have about 25 hours per week of truly pure, productive work getting accomplished.<p>I believe most people who can work like this in the software industry should. I have very generous vacation time, but I actually need to focus on scheduling it before the end of the year simply because aside from actual trips I never feel the need to use it.<p>Combine this with the financial and professional fulfillment this setup gives me and it's basically a dream.

Are you asking how many hours people work, or at what times of the day people work? From the question, this is not really clear, although the former seems more likely. Furthermore, no indication of intent or reason for asking was given. For example, someone may want to know whether there are regional trends among HNer workloads. In that case, it would be useful if participants included whether the job were local, remote, contract, and or employment.
I work 8am - 5pm with 30min to 2hrs to eat.
I'm a software engineer in France.<p>Usually the work hours for office work is more 9am - 6pm or even 6:30 at the places where I've worked.
