Some people aren't tired just because the clock says 9pm or even 12a. Some people are more awake and energetic in the evening, and less so in the AM, and other vice-versa.
The early rising == good thing is an old moralism that can't die quickly enough, since it's not fair to people who for whatever genetic reason don't have bodies that behave like that.

- slothtrop 6y agoThey do. Light still has a massive regulatory effect on the circadian rhythm, whether it's shifted slightly forward or back. Before the advent of the industrial revolution and electricity in homes no one was staying up all night unless they had to work through it. Take a night owl and move them several time zones away, they'll end up shifting forward again in a week's time.
