Time Has No Meaning at the North Pole

3 am to me means in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. So I'm curious, do people at the South Pole typically follow a similar sleep/wake cycle despite the time zone they follow?

I think the staff at the tourist camp just tries to accommodate the tourists, so I'd guess they'd mostly stay on Chile time, but I don't really know.

At the research station though a normal schedule is mostly followed, at least for meals. Some people keep odd hours of course, and I think there are people on night shift for certain things (e.g. meteo is always manned).
