A lot of us work at night. My bed time is 8am. Why exactly do you deserve sleep more than I do just because I'm on a different equally necessary schedule?

I’m not suggesting anyone is any more worthy of sleep than anyone else, and yes working a night shift does put you at a massive disadvantage. My wife worked night shifts for a few years, so yeah, I know.

What I am saying is that (and this is purely a guess) ~90% of the world are awake during daylight hours, and you just can’t expect them to put a hold on everything.

Personally I try not to do anything outdoors until 9am at the weekend, not because my neighbours work nights, or are night owls, or whatever. Just because I live near people. But at the same time I have kids and things to do.

But anyone being disruptive in a neighbourhood between 10pm and 8am (let’s say 9am at the weekend) should be punishable by death. And my country doesn’t even have capital punishment.
