Becky Marsh figures she香蕉视频直播檚 slept an average of two hours a night since the Pyeongchang Olympics started.

The diehard Olympics enthusiast from Spruce Grove, Alta., watches the Games daily from the time they start airing live in late afternoon until the wee hours of the morning, when she pulls the couch right in front of the TV and turns the volume down so she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 wake up her husband or three kids.

香蕉视频直播淚 nap on the couch for about 10-minute periods and literally watch the Olympics all night long,香蕉视频直播� says Marsh, who works from home.

香蕉视频直播淚 have not missed an event, I have not missed a medal, I have seen them all. I know the channels and I flip back and forth, back and forth, back and forth so that I do not miss one live.香蕉视频直播�

OLYMPIC ROUNDUP:

With Korean Standard Time over a dozen hours ahead of this country香蕉视频直播檚 times zones (in Alberta, it香蕉视频直播檚 a 16-hour time difference), Olympics junkies in Canada have to stay up late or get up at the crack of dawn to catch events live.

Citing data from ratings tracker Numeris, the CBC said Monday that almost two-thirds of all Canadians (65 per cent) have tuned in to CBC/Radio-Canada香蕉视频直播檚 coverage of PyeongChang 2018, with a total of 23.4 million in Canada watching at least part of broadcasts across all English and French television network partners and digital streaming simulcasts on the CBC香蕉视频直播檚 Olympics websites and its apps. The data was from Feb. 7-11.

For some, like Marsh, it香蕉视频直播檚 a labour of love.

The 33-year-old says she香蕉视频直播檚 watched every Games since she was a toddler and buys official Olympic clothing for her family to wear during the competition.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 not the same getting it second-hand. It香蕉视频直播檚 fantastic to watch them live and achieve their goals that they香蕉视频直播檝e worked so hard for,香蕉视频直播� she says, noting she played the Paralympic sport goalball for Team Canada for three years and knows the work and dedication that goes into such training.

香蕉视频直播淚 think they香蕉视频直播檙e amazing and I cheer like a fool, even if it香蕉视频直播檚 three in the morning and I wake up my whole house, knowing that even if they香蕉视频直播檙e half a world away and they can香蕉视频直播檛 hear me, that I香蕉视频直播檓 probably the loudest person cheering in the whole world.香蕉视频直播�

Lauren Simpson of Toronto is also a lifelong Olympics fan who has been juggling the odd Games hours with her day job and motherhood.

香蕉视频直播淚t doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter the time, I watch every single event,香蕉视频直播� says the 51-year-old activities co-ordinator at a long-term care home.

香蕉视频直播淲hen it香蕉视频直播檚 something that I love, I am more than happy and willing to wake up at whatever ridiculous time to see it live, because I don香蕉视频直播檛 want to hear, 香蕉视频直播極h, did you hear how this person did香蕉视频直播� or 香蕉视频直播榊ay, we won another medal.香蕉视频直播� I really do prefer the experience watching it, whenever possible, live.香蕉视频直播�

On Sunday night and early Monday morning, Simpson had an added reason to tune in live: Her niece, Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., won the gold medal in the team figure skating competition.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 a little bit tired but it香蕉视频直播檚 an elated tired,香蕉视频直播� says Simpson, noting she functions well on four or five hours of sleep.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 such a short price to pay for being proud of Canada in everything that they do and their accomplishments. When a flag gets hoisted and I see someone winning a medal and they get to stand on that podium in front of thousands in person and millions on TV, there mustn香蕉视频直播檛 be a better feeling in the world.

香蕉视频直播淚t does sometimes bring me to tears, just the experience of watching them take it all in.香蕉视频直播�

Shireen Jeejeebhoy of Toronto is equally enthusiastic about the Games but is feeling the fatigue, noting 香蕉视频直播渢he odd hours are just really confusing and tiring.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭he weird time zone differences kind of blur all of the events together and makes it difficult to know what day you香蕉视频直播檙e in,香蕉视频直播� says the 55-year-old writer and photographer.

香蕉视频直播淚 set my alarm for the opening ceremony so I wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 miss anything香蕉视频直播�. I tried to do that the next day, do the same thing, but it香蕉视频直播檚 very, very tiring to do that.

香蕉视频直播淪o instead I seem to be staying up much later, like midnight, 1 a.m.香蕉视频直播�

Still, it香蕉视频直播檚 worth it, adds Jeejeebhoy: 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 an excitement and fear and thrill about watching live TV that you don香蕉视频直播檛 get watching tape-delayed or packaged.香蕉视频直播�
