The Universe Made Me Do It

I have a theory. It seems to me that there is a certain law of nature that requires that a certain percentage of humanity be sleeping at all time. Certainly the spinning of the earth helps greatly to facilitate this balance. It is dark on half the world at a time, so that gives a sort of basic segregation by itself. But my theory states that the balance is more delicate that just that, and that the effect of groups of people waking or sleeping earlier, later, more or less has an effect on others. Elderly people waking up at 4 am to work on their genealogy is necessarily offset by college students staying up until 4 am playing video games, and then sleeping until noon. My reason for speculating all of this is that surely all those people who get up at 6 am are somehow making it more difficult for me to get up on time. It's actually me fighting the very nature of the universe to pull myself out of bed in the morning. When you think of it that way, getting to work 10 minutes late is actually a pretty impressive feat!
