Again with the anti-nightowl-ism ;-). Society's prejudice against sufferers of DSPS and non-24-hour sleep cycles must end! That, or we can just build soundproof apartments and let us all choose our own schedules.

It's more anti-"being woken up by your neighbor being an asshole"-ism. I'm sure as a night owl you wouldn't appreciate having your neighbor play trumpet at 7am after your late night of jamming.

No, I wouldn't appreciate it, but if I complained about my neighbor being noisy at 10AM and someone else complained about their neighbor being noisy at 2AM, I'd get more strange looks.

I'm sure most of us could stand to be more considerate of our neighbors, but I'd prefer if soundproofing became common enough that we didn't really have to.
