NO ONE TO PLAY WITH DURING THE DAY TIME (UK TIME)

Hi all, I just want to ask why I can't seem to find anyone to play live chess during the UK day time. Basically from around 11am to about 7pm I search for a 10min live game and can't find one. In the morning I seem to be able to find opponents from the India, Iran and Asia in general up until around 10am and in the evening, after 7pm, I can find many opponents from the Americas.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks

That would be from 3am in California (PST) until 11am.  I imagine that is a low time for overall usage for the continental US.

How many players does chess.com show are playing live chess at those times?  

I see 21,000 in live chess at 9am California time. (5pm UK time)

What time control are you trying to play?
