I think the point is he doesn't have to get up at 7:30 any more, a point I'm in agreement with. If you're a person who's comfortable getting up at 7:30 then it probably is meaningless. My way of explaining it is how would you like to work through till 2 in the morning, for me its no drama, but getting up in the morning is work. I've always thought that it probably harkens back to our early days, it would have been useful to have people awake most of the day, keeping an eye on things, watching out for predators and so on.
