| in my opinion there are so many factors that make a difference for me. Depends on how much I've slept, wich monitors I'm using, what kind of music I'm working with etc. |

yup. Don't forget monitoring level, headphones vs. monitors, frequency of breaks. Taking a 5-minute break every half hour or so can do wonders for extending the onset of fatigue. |

| Depends on the dynamics and volume of the music mostly for me. If I'm using too much compression I can wreck my ears in about 1-2 hours. Otherwise can go up to 8-9 hours if its late at night (no background noise at all) and I can turn it really low... |

Yeah, this is true for me as well. A good night sleep can help a lot to get you started the next day. I usually don't feel like making music anyway when I'm basically already tired. |

Agree with this one 100%. If I'm tired then I tend not to make good decisions, so I'll sleep and take a crack at it after a nap or a good night's sleep. |

I'm wondering if I have a cold now. My ears get clogged up within five seconds of hearing something on my monitors (can't recall this happening to me before). This is weird because I never really listen to music at high volumes and keep the volume very low and out of headphones if possible.
I pray it's a cold -- I would hate for it to be something worse. |
