alt Hacker NewsI'm confused how is setting an alarm not simple? It will wake you up.
Equivalents for sleeping are things like head trauma and drugs.
Is the argument the alarm can just be ignored? But even in that case up your alarm game. Lol I must be missing something super obvious

I've had to accept that people are just very different when it comes to this.
I'm someone who rarely ever wakes up with an alarm (usually I wake up before it and turn it off). I never snooze an alarm either. Alarm goes off, I get up, even if it's hours earlier than usual.
Clearly there are people who simply can't actually do this, for whatever reason.
For me, the "opposite" holds. The only times I've ever gotten up past 7am regularly are when I had jobs that had shifts that ended past midnight.
Otherwise I absolutely cannot stay awake past 10pm consistently.
As habits, staying up late for me appears as impossible as getting up early is for my wife.
Some people will sleep through alarms, turning them off without remembering it.
But more importantly, if your sleep schedule is shifted you might not actually be able to fall asleep when you need to, even if you haven't had enough sleep. After a few days you will be exhausted, fall asleep in the afternoon and take a nice 4 hour nap, leaving you unable to fall asleep until very late, after which the cycle continues.
