It is rediculous that public school is so early in the morning. I heard from one of my teachers that somebody showed scientifically that students learn best early in the morning. BULL SH**! It may be so that your brain can comprehend this stuff earlier in the morning, I won't challenge that, but I'm pretty sure that being super-tired with all the health issues will out-balance that! The research shows that its stupid, yet they go on with it. What a bunch of idiots we have running the system

I have adult delayed sleep phase syndrome, aka d.s.p.s I'm a twenty five year old who gets up at 11, 12 and sometimes 1 in the day. two kids, self employed, yet I'm successful. Don't ask me how. My wife is as bad as me, she was never like that before we lived together. She's a stay at home mom. I have set my life up to agree with my situation. But I long to be normal.

Indeed, having a sleep disorder is one of a major public health or issue concerning and affecting millions of individuals, families, and communities on a daily basis in the whole world, not just America. I agree with the talks of the interviewee, everyone seems to be so busy that everyone tends to be sleep depriving.
