#2Like the author of the blog mentioned in this post, I too find it hard to wake up in the morning. But, so what? I don't feel pity for myself or try to blame my desire to sleep longer on a "disease". This blog post really hits the nail on the head.

#3It’s your fault and your fault alone.
If you're in a coma, is that your fault? If you have narcolepsy, is it your fault? If you wake up having hit a snooze button that you didn't consciously push, is that your fault? If you have a medical condition that makes it harder for you to wake up than for 99.8% of the population, is that your fault? There's a line somewhere, and I don't think the author of the original article crossed it.

A thousand-times 'this'.

#5your generation might be full of sissies, but my generation is kickass.

#6Why didn't the guy just post a link to his blog post in the comments on the other article? Maybe that is frowned upon on this site. Seems like the right thing to do to me.

Coma? Narcolepsy?
It seems like you're pulling out all the stops to avoid the uncomfortable point: the vast, vast majority of us are normal and don't have a convenient excuse for our poor sleep habits.
>If you wake up having hit a snooze button that you didn't consciously push, is that your fault?
Absolutely. 1000%. Move your alarm. Hide it. Make it not turn off until you do math problems. Have a friend call you. Set your computer to set off such an unholy alarm that your neighbors will hear. Buy one of those alarm helicopters that flies around the room until you catch it. Do what you have to do.
It is your responsibility and yours alone to wake up early enough to meet the obligations that you made for yourself.
Period.

Then you must really hate that it's written in the style of the raging rant of a League of Legends player who's just lost a game.

If you're in the 0.15% of the population who have DSPD, it's not your fault. The people reading these articles, in all likelihood, do not have DSPD.

#10Just a quibble: I think Englishman Alan Turing deserves a lot of credit for inventing computing. The US has done a lot with innovating it.
Otherwise a good rant.
