"Give me your tired, your poor..."

I get up at seven, yeah. Go to work at eight. I got no time for living yeah. I’m working all the time. They call me the Working Man.*

I think this is just a fact of my body. Getting up at 7 in the am has never worked for me. I slept through school. I sleep through work. I just can’t get the amount of rest I need by 7am. I need that extra hour of sleep in the morning. I can go to sleep at 10pm or 1am and still not feel rested with this 7am wake-up time.

I can unequivocally state that my most productive years have come when the work day began at 9am.

Are late sleepers a protected class in discrimination cases? Can I point to an institutionalized bias that has deprived me the full benefits of my citizenship because they left me tired? Feeling: sleepy
