Yeah, this just obviously correct. Sure, maybe there is some other biological factor that accounts for some of the increased rates of depression. But it's an amazingly safe bet that the main factor is the part where we treat people poorly and openly classify them as a bad person. This seems pretty simple. Until the had too much of an effect on my health I medicated myself into a morning person sleep schedule. I felt worse physically, just low key bad all the time, but I miss it so much. Getting treated that much better, with absolute benefit of the doubt given to me regarding everything I did, instead of the complete opposite, was really great.

I think everyone is somewhat affected the same way because of devices. The natural rhythm of humans is sunrise to sunset, without electricity. But we put ourselves in the pixel glow around the clock! A more beneficial study than the OP would be to turn off all lights by sun down, and remove all technology. I’d wager folks would naturally wake up with sunrise over time and feel healthier, assuming they know what to do with themselves.

    You're certainly supposed to sleep longer; it saves energy. Supposedly that's the adaptive background to seasonal affective disorder.

      Why don't more people have seasonal affective disorder then?

I’d be interested in seeing the effects on job retention and promotion from sending out an email at 7am to a different coworker every day.

  From experience I can tell that 5am mails are treated like yesterday’s mails.
