Here is the horarium of All Saints Convent in Maryland. Impressive!
5:30 am Rise
6:00 am Angelus
6:00-6:30 am Meditation in the Chapel
6:30 am Lauds
7:00 am Mass
7:30 am Breakfast
9:30 am Terce
12:00 pm Angelus and Sext
12:15 pm Dinner
3:00 pm None
5:00 pm Vespers, followed by Angelus
5:30 pm Supper
7:15-8:00 pm Recreation
8:00 pm Beginning the Greater Silence, until 9:00 am
8:30 pm Compline
10:00 pm Lights Out
The intervals from 10:00 am to 12 noon and from 2-5 pm are times of silence except on Sundays and greater festivals, and are spent in prayer, work, or study, according to each Sister's personal schedule.
I, too, live in Maryland and fervently wish that the Greater Silence could begin in my neigborhood earlier than, say, 2am.
