When I was a teen we didn't have television or mobile devices and I was still rarely asleep before midnight. What a mind-bogglingly simplistic perception of the world you have.

> When I was a teen we didn't have television or mobile devices and I was still rarely asleep before midnight. So you stay up late at night and wonder why you barely wake up early in the morning? So shocking. Maybe because you stayed up too long the nights before? There is a reason why people go with the natural day-night cycle. If you life a different life-style for what ever reason, feel free to do it, everybody has different preferences, but don't write BS and get personal. It's well known from various studies about shift workers that working a different cycle than the natural day-night isn't that healthy in the long term.

  I think you will find the studies relate to placing different factors of a persons circadian rhythms in contention with each other. Such studies show that the natural balance of the sleep portion of the wake/sleep cycle shifts towards 1-10 am for young men and becomes more resilient. The "day/night" cycle is the external cycle that interacts only to tune the sleep/wake cycle. Suggesting that the sleep/wake cycle and the day/night cycle should be aligned, and that such is natural, is incorrect. I'll link you some papers when I get home. However, in the mean time, I suggest you re-read some of those studies you are claiming to habe read.

  You claimed that a removal of TV and mobile devices would solve the problem. Oh look it doesn't. How you can turn that into an implication that other people are being foolish is beyond me.

  You may be imagining things - I didn't mention any problem with getting up early?
