Awake workers are productive workers

Saudi people by nature are nocturnal.
People stay up till the wee hours of the morning and it’s normal.
Official working hours start at 8:00 AM
School starts 7:30 AM
Morning prayers are at 5:00 AM
Workers, students, teachers, Government and Private eyes.
At 12 prayer time. Break from 1-4. At 4 prayer time. At 6 prayer time at 8 prayer time.
No wonder Saudization is a nightmare.
No wonder no one is around when you need them.
No one ever sleeps.
When they're half awake they are praying or preparing for prayer.
No one can focus on anything.
I wonder if that has something to do with the mortality rate around here.

I should write to the King.

Some things are just painfully obvious.
