Lots of important work does not involve hammering away all hours of the night. For example, any work that interfaces with the outside world will be constrained by the availability of people in the outside world. Are advertising clients working at midnight on a Sunday? We've known for many, many years, that hours worked and value delivered do not correlate (which applies in technical roles, too).

If your job literally only entails things that happen during business hours, like you man the front desk, I'd wager people would be reasonable.
