The problem is in some countries (US, in my case) performance is often evaluated by hours spent outside your assigned schedule. This trend may be changing. I am fortunate to work at a small company where I was told by my manager on day 1 that he was completely unimpressed by people working at 11pm. The mantra "work smarter, not harder" used to be an empty phrase for a lot of people, that may be shifting from what I've seen.
