Ironically, when I saw the headline I thought to myself "what's with this conspiracy with people constantly trying to push this narrative that people should reject morning stuff", and then the top comment is complaining about a "conspiracy to make people wake up early".
From an evolutionary perspective I guess you can try to argue that in the past there was some benefit to some people being on a shifted schedule so they can stay awake to keep watch at night, but I feel like overwhelmingly throughout human history people mostly just naturally woke up when the sun rose and anyone that stayed at camp sleeping in, not helping with duties, was very looked down upon by the rest of the group.

I strongly agree that it feels like this whole thing came from ancient times and the need to sync to day-night cycle because of how things were. In the same time I feel like the “morning conspiracy” is being sort of inertially reinforced in modern times for no measurable metric gain of anything. See, I don’t wanna rise and shine and shit, because it’s not only the early bird that gets the worm really; I want to wake up after enough of sleep at the time when I feel optimally the best possible for a day, and that’s about it. Question is whether I can afford it. Covid mess showed that many of us actually can work remotely, and if anything else, it also showed that many of us can wake up when they feel optimally good without hindering the business we’re contributing to. I didn’t quite expect my comment to be a top comment here though, but reading from people who have simialr experiences makes me feel a bit less conspiratorial. Or more! :)
