Once upon a time there were dozens of people who didn't sleep well at night. There were many good reasons for them to not sleep at night, including the fact that the night time sky was much more beautiful than the sky during the day time. All the day sky could boast were clouds, birds, planes and smog, and if it were very lucky, the main attraction of the night time sky - the Moon - would make an appearance. The Moon was quite superstitious though, and would only show during the day if all signs were auspicious. (Honestly, she just couldn't stand the idea of being upstaged. The Moon is a bit of a Prima Donna.)
Anyway, there were dozens of folks who just plain preferred to be nocturnal. Individually they got a lot of flak from their peers, but some of them figured out ways to get along with general society. Few of the adaptables were satisfied in life, of course, because they were living in a way that was incongruent with their inherent natures. Still, some of those adaptable noctuturnals were content to plod along in a disgruntled fashion.
However, those who could not accept a plodding fate grew restless. Their attempts to conform with the diurnal majority were disastrous. Snark was the rule rather than the exception. Relationships suffered and potential contacts were spurned with a single dead eye glare. Something had to give.
