psychohistory

Psychohistory is a fictional term first described in Isaak Asimov's classic novel Foundation.
Psychohistory is a branch of mathematics which deals with the reactions of human conglomerates to fixed social and economic stimuli.
In a nutshell it's the science that can predict the future.
The greatest psychohistorian of all time was Hari Seldon.
"I quite understand that psychohistory is a statistical science and cannot predict the future of a single man with any accuracy."

Societal Sleep Psychosis

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."
