Also it seems to assume that all persons are or at least should be morning people. There’s a growing body of evidence that some people have a naturally delayed sleep cycle (“owls”), and trying to force them to become morning people (“larks”) causes health issues.
I know that mornings are an uphill struggle for me. I can fake being a morning person for a week or two when I need it to sell at a convention, but after three cons in three weeks I start having real problems. The year that I tried to do a 9-5 job was painful, and ended badly.
So, I guess graveyard shift workers and astronomers (day sleepers) are doomed.
If that were so I would expect higher rates of Alzheimer’s in napping cultures such as Spain, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
