Summer mornings dawned even earlier.
By just after six o'clock, the sky was completely bright, but about ninety percent of the city's population was still sleeping soundly.
Whether it is the working class at the bottom, or the wealthy in the Bay Area, they all need longer sleep to make up for their physical exhaustion.
The wealthy's physical exhaustion comes from their need to battle through the night with beautiful girls or handsome boys, while manual workers are simply exhausted from a whole day's work!
The system of at least eleven-hour workdays ensures most manual laborers can't get out of bed once they've lain down, leaving them little rest.
But some people get up very early, like the outsourced urban sanitation workers who rise early every day but earn very little.
And, for instance... journalists!
