Shows how professional the Thai's are IMO. A life is worth waiting for, they have the brains to know he's just upset. Not something to kill someone over even if you can.

Undisturbed sleep how you suppose that's going to happen with the monks waking you up at 4:30 am and dogs barking all night.

Exactly. That’s the point. The monks are probably a minor thing, though. The rampaging dogs, the excessively loud music from amps that are driven into distortion and then supplemented by off key karaoke. The deliberate plan to stay up late, and get up early, and catch snatches of top-up sleep during the day.

Sleep deprivation is a key factor in behavioural issues- driving cars when sleep deprived is equally as erratic as being intoxicated, but sleep deficit is largely unquantifiable.

Add in drink. Drug issues. Social issues like poverty, leading to desperation.
It would not surprise me if someone were to report that a large proportion of the various armed services for instance, were undertaking some questionable means to make up for fatigue.
