  • Another survey has just appeared on PA. I dismissed it. You will be assigned to one of two groups. In the second group you have to wake up every hour during the night to answer questions. That's not an option for me but might suit some people who can be wide awake in an instant, answer questions and go back to sleep again all through the night.

    I risked it and got the group that doesn't have to get up. Hurrah!

    Oh dear, i risked it and ended up in the wrong group. Does seem a bit harsh that if you miss more than 3 of the 10 hourly surveys then they won't pay you anything. It also seems a lot of effort for just over £5.

    I ended up in the wrong group too. Are you going to do it? I've returned it, not worth me missing a night's proper sleep for!

    I'm not sure yet. In a previous job, a few times a year i would end up working 24+ hours without a break, but that was over a decade ago. I may give it a go just to see if i can still do it.

    That study is working now, be quick!
  • I got on and it worked, tried to load a task part way through, said it was failing to do so, tried to resolve and could not, so terminated the study itself.

    Redirected to the end and filled in the normal demographic stuff and got a completion code, so will see what happens....

    Ditto, SSDD23. Screenshot taken. This is not a good week so far, is it, PA-wise?
