Do we hibernate as soon as we reach payout?

Is it Winter yet? Isn't it still some time away? A peculiar trend I have noticed over the time I spent at myLot is that the population here seems to dwindle at the transition point between end-month and month-start. Responses are generally slower to come in and fewer in number. People are also more brief in their replies. So, are we all polar bears here who hibernate as soon as we reach payout? Most of us try to meet the minimum payout in time for the last daily calculation of the month. Some stop "work" as soon as the minimum amount is reached. Others get less enthusiastic. Are you one of those who hibernate? Or do you work hard 24/7, 365 days a year? Or... ? Do share your thoughts. :D PS.: I do know polar bears don't hibernate in winter.
