Most Americans (and European too probably) are sleep deprived because they are addicted to their tv sets, not because they are trying to "get some semblence of a life between work". Unless you consider being a couch potato as "some semblence of life" of course. Quite a few of my co-workers have a hard time showing up for work at 9am because they had to watch this game, or that show, or whatever crap they show on tv these days. Switch of the stupid thing and get a real live, you won't miss a thing. You might even have some time to browse slashdot...
Only in the US would a comment like this be labeled "funny"!
