Sleep patterns were once defined by nature, not alarm clocks.

Do you ever feel frustrated when woken up by the sound of your alarm?

Do you think that going to work when it’s still dark feels unreasonable?

This man has the same sentiments!

Let’s take a look!

We were not meant to wake up at 6 AM to the sound of a beeping alarm clock

Our ancestors regularly were getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep and even naps in between.

Compared to us, that is far more sleep than the average person is getting in the modern, industrial world.

We were meant to wake up gradually through the introduction of natural sunlight.

There is nothing natural about forcing yourself to wake up with an alarm clock early in the morning while it is still dark outside.

People dread going to work in the morning.

You are forcing yourself to eat and use the bathroom all under 10 minutes.

You immediately rush to traffic, arrive at work, and are expected to be productive right away.

The truth is you wake up to high cortisol levels that cause additional stress for you.

You dread every morning and drag yourself out of bed.

It’s cold and cruel.

There is nothing noble about this.

It is a system designed with only productivity and output in mind.

It does not take into consideration the individual that is actually going through it.

It is cruel, cold, and relentless.

It doesn’t make sense, does it?

I also cannot tolerate it when the same people talk about health or how to maximize it.

It makes no sense to do this to your body every morning.

And then give a motivational speech about being healthy.

It is absolutely certain that waking up early in the morning and being healthy do not align with each other.

Let’s check out what others say about it.

Here’s an honest and valid opinion from this person.

Add to that the obsession with working out early in the morning, says this one.

This one makes sense.

Finally, funny and cute.

Turns out the alarm clock might be the real workplace villain.
