Your alarm clock gets Sunday off. We checked six weeks of Poop Map activity to see whether the first pin of the day follows suit.
Among 11,334 regular Poop Map users, the median change in the time of the first recorded poop of the day was 30 minutes later on weekends.
We compared 526,372 public entries from 10 August to 20 September 2026, matching each person’s weekdays with their own Saturdays and Sundays.
The throne, it seems, has a weekend mode.
Half an hour later, person by person
For each user, we found the middle first-pin time on weekdays and the middle first-pin time on weekends, then measured the difference. Across users, the median difference was that neat half hour.
60.1% shifted later. Another 39.6% shifted earlier, with a small remainder unchanged. There is clearly room in Poop Map for both the Sunday snoozer and the aggressively punctual pooper.
This gave every person equal weight, so one prolific logger could not take over the result.
The world’s other rush hour
Looking at all the qualifying users’ entries, the early-morning rush eased off at weekends. The hours from 6am to 9am accounted for 14.1% of weekday activity but 9.6% of weekend activity, with users weighted equally.
Both curves still peaked between 10am and 11am. The weekend difference was a quieter early start and more activity around late morning and lunchtime.
Sunday takes the longest lie-in
For a closer look at individual days, we used a smaller group of 6,262 users with at least three recorded dates for every day of the week. Each person’s Tuesday-to-Friday routine became their reference point.
| Day | Later by |
|---|---|
| Monday | 5.5 minutes |
| Saturday | 31 minutes |
| Sunday | 43.5 minutes |
Sunday showed the biggest shift of the seven days. Monday was much closer to the midweek routine. Even the pins seem to know when the weekend is over.
A look around the map
We also compared users whose qualifying entries all came from one known country. Nine country groups met our minimum of 100 users.
| Country | Users | Median later by |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | 129 | 41 min |
| France | 966 | 36 min |
| United Kingdom | 445 | 36 min |
| Indonesia | 159 | 34 min |
| United States | 4,997 | 31 min |
| Netherlands | 132 | 27 min |
| Australia | 215 | 21 min |
| Canada | 434 | 17 min |
| Italy | 139 | 7 min |
Spain had the largest median shift in this sample; Italy had the smallest. Smaller groups are noisier, so treat the order cautiously. These groups describe where people recorded their pins, rather than their nationality.
Did people just log it later?
We repeated the comparison using only days whose first eligible entry was submitted within an hour of its recorded time, allowing five minutes for clock differences. 10,933 users still qualified, and the median weekend shift stayed at 30 minutes.
The pattern also appeared in all six weekly comparisons, whose median shifts ranged from 27 to 36 minutes. The participating users varied slightly by week.
How we counted
We included registered users’ entries only when both the entry and its location were publicly visible at collection. Each person needed at least 10 observed weekday dates and four weekend dates, spread across at least three weeks in each group. A day without a qualifying entry was left out.
Times use the recorded event’s historical local UTC offset. Local-time metadata was available for 90.1% of otherwise eligible public entries in our UTC-based coverage window, rising from 84.2% in the first week to 98.4% in the last. Missing metadata can affect who qualifies; nearly all included offsets were inferred from the pin’s coordinates.
This describes recorded activity among regular users who share publicly. The first pin we can see may not be someone’s first bathroom visit, and the data cannot tell us when they woke up or whether they work weekdays. Explore the aggregate data.
