No. In truth, the Government, in order to control the people better, started producing a sleeping gas and poured it into the atmosphere. In the correct dosage, this would mean people would be forced to sleep rather than matching their true potential. However, over time, people's systems adapt to such substances, thus the government has to pour in more of the stuff all the time...
Leading up to an explanation of why younger people often seem more tired than older people, and why I need more sleep XD.
