"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"
You do realise that people who are awake during the night are of equal importance, who's gonna run those power plants and radio stations and petrol service stations and police forces and whatever else? If they shut off during the night, there'd be chaos. At least a chaos that most folks won't see because they're asleep or something.
You realize that “important” is a different word not appearing in the set of “healthy, wealthy, and wise” right?
I'm probably guessing that SOME night people are healthy, wealthy and wise. Huge emphasis on the word "some".
To be fair: The people messing up their bio rhythms doing night shift after night shift might not necessarily be considered 'healthy'.
Fair point
I suspect that this one comes from a time when society was much more agrarian.
Oh.
