Sleeping. This reminds me of my dad. My dad keeps on shouting at me to sleep at proper time. Well, for the people who dont know, I sleep generally at around 3.30 am, for around 6 hours.
Here, at my hostel, there are times when my room-mate wakes up at 5.30 am and wishes me good morning while i wish him good night. ;)
So, coming back on the issue of sleeping at the proper time, what i have always fail(ed) to understand is 'what is defined as proper time??' If everyone sleeps early does it really mean that it is the proper time. Is everything decided only by the majority, even my sleeping hours. Also another thought creeps up to my mind, 'am I sufferring from some disease, illness or maybe insomnia!!!'
So, to satisfy my curious mind I just googled to find out whether i have insomnia or maybe some other thing. And this is what came up as a solution to my query.
Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS)
Well, it is the inability to awaken and fall asleep at socially acceptable times, according to wikipedia.
SOCIALLY Acceptable Time i.e. time followed by the society.
But, Am i not a part of the society??
If yes, then why do i suffer from DSPS because according to me my sleeping hours are proper.
Also, taking my room mate's case under consideration, his immediate society would be me and a few others like me who sleep pretty late. So shouldn't he be suffering from this syndrome. But that is not the case. We, who sleep late (early morning) will still be the one who suffer from this syndrome.
Taking cue from my syndrome, Pause and now think for a second
How can something be decided for us by the society, when we are the people who constitute the society???
Why if someone does things differently is cast differently in a society???
Why is this phrase 'society doesnt approve of this' always used when we do something differently???
And Why do we abide by these rules when we are the ones who make these unwritten rules???
Why...!!??!!
I leave you with these thoughts. :)

True enough. A well put research, but my friend, you have have you decided to ignore those maggots who are asleep perennially? What syndrome would you label them with? And pray answer this question which has been bothering me since eternity, What phenomenon does sleeping in the lecture pertain to and who is to be blamed for that? ;-)
dude.. only one answer for aall of them... tht thought is yours.. so research on it yourself.. my suggestions.. start with wikipedia.. lol
Hehe...why not start from room 50?
I guess I'm the first socially acceptable sleeper commenting here, honestly, the society doesn't mind it. Everyone is socially unacceptable in some way or the other. So be proud of yours :)
