It's always seemed strange to me how the world agrees that it is fine to deprive someone of sleep if they happen to have a late sleep schedule (by e.g. starting school or work early).

- oytis 1y agoIf they happen to have an early sleep schedule they would wake up early even if it's not mandatory, won't they? It's like the meaning of being a morning person that it just comes naturally
- eikenberry 1y agoMost people have a fairly flexible chronotype, but not everyone. There are extremes at both ends. Don't assume that just because you can change your sleeping behavior that everyone has that privilege.

- bsza 1y agoI don't think anyone is conspiring against people who go to bed late - as an early waker I've often had noisy neighbors playing loud music late at night to contend with. Sometimes it was a larger event like a wedding reception, so calling the police wasn't exactly an option either (not that I'd ever done that). I would say the world simply agrees that things - whether schools, shifts or parties - should generally start sometime, and thus, by necessity, be less accommodating to some people than to others.
