There's also waiting 1-2 minutes for green light on a pedestrian semaphore while the street is entirely empty of cars. If no cops are in sight I definitely cross the street. Usually one or two people get encouraged and also cross but there's always the sticklers who would wait the end of the world if not given the green light.
On the plus side, this would solve the housing problem too. Without the nuisance of sleep requirements we would move to the offices and live, ahem, produce there 24/7. Much like cattle.
This is the great future the visionary OP envisions for us.
Also I suspect some people are more tolerant on alcohol than others and I don't mean being allergic to alcohol. Like I was never able to drink and not feel pretty nasty afterwards, even small amounts (not that this deterred me from doing it occasionally). But I see lots of people who can have 2-3 beers and be totally fine and like 10 beers and fairly ok next morning. Not me, and only way I explain it is they are better equipped genetically to processing alcohol than me.
So alcohol doesn't help me much but doesn't mean it helps noone.
