How lazy are some people getting when..?

[nevermore]

my son has to set his alarm to wake him up for 1pm

Laziness and abnormal sleep cycles aren't the same thing. I'm not really an overly lazy person, but my natural sleep cycle generally has me fall asleep around 3 or 4 AM and wake up between 12 and 1. Doesn't make me lazy, it's just how my body works if I don't force it to adapt to another schedule.

Sounds like Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

I'm a classic case. I've had to train myself to get to sleep by 2:30-3:00. It's better than it was in high school and college when I would finally get to sleep about 5am, but I still average about 4-5 hours of sleep during the week and it takes 4 alarms going for about 2 hours, plus an annoyed cat, to get me up by 9(ish). I've never "spontaneously" woken up before noon. Ever.

Of course, once awake, I am lazy, but that's a whole other matter.

So true...

Soon, they'll be supplanted by robots, and THEN where will these people work?

Fixing the robots, and the robots will not work properly.

They'll only not work because people with the intelligence of farm animals will be responsible for fixing them...

Right, and the people with the intelligence -- who invented the robots -- will be too rich to be fixing robots. McDonald's foot-shufflers gotta work somewhere.

 

[Holdfast]

We should just make the robots sentient, and capable of fixing themselves.

That will never go wrong.

I only ever wake up before noon if I manage to fall asleep early the night before, and that only happens if I am remarkably sleep-deprived from the night before (and by sleep-deprived, I mean I probably pulled an all-nighter and didn't sleep at all).

Otherwise, I am always in bed no earlier than 4am.

They don't need to be sentient. They just need to have other robots that will fix them. And those robots will also need robots to fix them. And so on...

No no no.

The sudden & painful death comes from the fearsomely hot apple pie filling.

It's all a conspiracy (conspieracy?).

It's the secret* ingredient.

Spoiler: secret

Secret ingredient = DEATH

 

[CorporalClegg]

Or maybe humans ARE the special ingredient?

Well, robots are built to serve man after all...

I'm starting to think that everyone else is wrong.
It's 2am now and I'm wide awake.
We are not wrong ~ night owls unite and start waking everyone else up at 3am like they do to us at 10am ~ aka 'the middle of the goddamned night'

I don't get off work until around midnight, and then I usually go to the gym, so it's usually 2am before I even get home! Then I have to wind down and make myself something to eat, and if I have laundry to do, I do it then too. That takes me to 4am easily.

Yeah, I'm not quite as severe, but I am similar. Right now I'm working "normal" full-time hours, and somedays it absolutely slays me. Today, for instance. I can pour coffee down my throat, and even if I got a solid seven or eight hours of sleep, I still feel tired all bloody day. Bah!

I haven't slept in 30 hours.

Sounds like you're too lazy to go to bed.

How lazy are some people getting...

When reading a paragraph or two or at most a page is considered too much?

Or taking a two or three minute walk across the street for a coffee is considered too far?

I've actually seen this and other things happen numerous times.

Any other examples?

The paragraph thing, actually makes sense. Reading off a computer, to much kind of bugs me sometimes. It's almost like staring at tv for hours on hours. People get restless, when there just sitting and looking a tv/computer screen. It can become to much after awhile.
