The problem is that we don't all have the same sleep schedules, which makes sense so the tribe would naturally have some people awake at all times to watch for predators. This doesn't mesh with our modern world where everyone needs to conform to the majority's work schedule. Trying to find a universal inherent schedule that everyone can follow to the letter is fundamentally based on wrong assumptions.
