I didn't like the tone of this article at all. I'll spare us all and put aside the causality vs. free will debate, but saying all of our actions are controllable is ridiculous.

If trying like hell not to have to wake up early in the morning makes someone a sissy, then I'm the king of sissies.

This reminds me of a quote from Crowfoot, once a chief of the Blackfoot tribe:

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."

Life's short. Enjoy it. If that means not waking up at a certain time, then don't. But, also, don't complain when you have to deal with the consequences.
