While many comments bring up the anti-social aspects, I think it interesting to use the thread to think about one of the biggest, and often overlooked personal productivity attributes: making sure that your body gets a good dose of sleep every day.
Good sleep means better cognitive behavior, less accidents, lower bodyfat, lower inflammation, and many other benefits.
Sleep has a long list of very positive effects, and I might suggest reading Coren's "The Sleep Thieves" to get a full idea of this.
One of the central cores of getting a good night's sleep is "sleep hygiene," which includes having a regular schedule. In other words, get to a schedule and stick to it. Also, exposure to light seems to keep the schedule synced.
As many have written, 5pm hardly seems to be reinforcing of the above points.

I'm not talking about getting a prescription for sleeping tablets. Personally they make me feel like shit when I wake up.
