Get the socneintoelrbee mug.The idea that the masses in society have become mentally (and physically) weak because of the declining amount of time and quality of sleep they get.
In the Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn says, "sleeplessness befogs the reason, undermines the will, and the human being ceases to be himself, to be his own 'I.'"
Instead of Soviet-era prisoners, imagine the modern society in which the majority lack sufficient sleep. The main difference here in modern society is that the sleep deprivation process is not physically enforced by the regime, but its rather determined by the choices of the individual. These are choices that individuals make that can impede their sleep. Commonly we see people consume products (fast food, caffeine, etc.) and use technological devices (phone use late at night) that will harm their sleep schedule.
Was it ever really normal for kids in school to have only a few hours of sleep until recently? Of course not, but the use of addictive substances and devices recently has allowed this to happen. The result of sleep deprivation from these products on a mass scale is that people are much more susceptible to deviate from societal norms because they lack the agency to maintain them. With people lacking the willpower to maintain societal norms, this serves as an excellent opportunity for regimes. Regimes will then craft narratives for the weak-willed people, and these people will naturally incorporate these ideas within their moral framework.

"That dude's life is literally just a 3-hour sleep schedule with a diet consisting of Cheetos and Sprite... and he is surprised he has low energy and feels depressed. He is the epitome of someone living under a Societal Sleep Psychosis."

Get the Hot Socket mug.Well, for America, it's just full of fucking zombies who are very fashionable and trendy. And they cream over everything that the media shits out and deems awesome, as in superstars, websites, tv shows, "musicians". They blindly recognize Justin Beiber, Adam Lambert, the sissy fag that sings "You're beautiful, it's true." as good music, and worse, art.
Zombies of society go haywire for glittery, glamourous American Idol, for any winners to be forgotten within the next two years. Same could be said for any star in these times.
In today's society, seemingly random people can be famous. Like Snooki and Paris Hilton. They're famous for being... Rich bitches, with no significant works or talent. The phrase "bliss is ignorance" applies to America's society quite well. Hell, kick it up a few notches. "Ignorance is encouraged"

Gee, today's society is really shitacular. Good luck, mankind, on trying to elevate to a higher concsience.
