Sorry to say, it's *seriously* angryfying (if that's really a word) to be surrounded by perpetually tired people half of the time.
Am I the exception, getting up at around 7:00, and going to bed at around 0:00, feeling only slightly tired at that time, not having yawned my way through the day since 15:00?
Jeesh. Get a new bed or something...

Surely you realize that different people have different needs for sleep? Some people get along fine on 6 hours. Some need 9. Everybody is different, and it's not about their mattresses, most likely.
When I'm working out religiously, my body wants 9 hours, period. Oh, I don't get 9--but left to my own devices, I'll sleep 9 hours. When I'm not working out, 7-8 is perfect (what my body wants). My entire adult life, I've mostly gotten by with 6-ish hours...but that's
not what my body WANTS.
When I was building hotels, it wasn't that uncommon for me to nearly sleep Sunday away, catching up. Even today, b/c I work 60+ hours every week, including Saturdays, on Sundays, I'm always tired.
ALWAYS. Certainly not because I'm lazy, or this or that--it's just that there are only so many hours in a day, and I work a lot of them. The icing on the cake for this is also that I'm not a great sleeper--so I get to toss/turn for an hour or more, each night, when I hit the sack, before I drop off.
I'm happy for you that you're so good to go with fewer hours, but your rant is a bit like blaming them for having blue eyes rather than brown. (I'm assuming that if they were all unfit, or taking drugs, or drunk, etc., you'd have mentioned that, so...it's probably just how they're built.)
And why on earth does it make you angry? Why do
you care if they sleep an hour more than you do?

They're as loud as a friggin' alarm clock.

Hell, I'd be
THRILLED if mine were as quiet as an alarm clock. Mine sound like a nuclear device is about to be let go over the house, and I need to run for the hills.
