 In sociology and anthropology, time discipline is the general name given to social and economic rules, conventions, customs, and expectations governing the measurement of time, the social currency and awareness of time measurements, and people's expectations concerning the observance of these customs by others. The alarm clock is for many people a reminder of the intrusion of socio-economic time discipline into their sleep cycle. The gods confound the man who first found outHow to distinguish hours! Confound him, too,Who in this place set up a sun-dial,To cut and hack my days so wretchedlyInto small portions. When I was a boyMy belly was my sun-dial; one more sure,Truer, and more exact than any of them.This dial told me when 'twas proper timeTo go to dinner, when I had aught to eat.But now-a-days, why, even when I have,I can't fall-to, unless the sun give leave.The town's so full of these confounded dials,The greatest part of its inhabitants,Shrunk up with hunger, creep along the streets.
