Like the author of the blog mentioned in this post, I too find it hard to wake up in the morning. But, so what? I don't feel pity for myself or try to blame my desire to sleep longer on a "disease". This blog post really hits the nail on the head.

Then you must really hate that it's written in the style of the raging rant of a League of Legends player who's just lost a game.
Delayed sleep phase disorder is a recognized disorder that can be difficult or impossible to control: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

That isn't an excuse to stop trying—there are things you can do that often help: a combination of correctly timed melatonin and light therapy can shift your circadian rhythm back towards normal. Nonetheless, it's an actual medical condition.

To everyone else: if you think you have this problem, do something about it. There's a healthy chance you can fix it.

And since it's easy for you to overcome that problem, it must mean everyone else who struggles with it must not be trying. It can't possibly be harder for them than for you, after all!
A thousand-times 'this'.
