Well, nothing is that simple, in fact one of the biggest problems in society is that each of us has their own biological clock, with preferred activity and sleep hours, yet we are forced to align our schedules to the same universal standard. Of course, it is absolutely vital for the way our current society functions (because we, as a society, work together, take classes together, commute together, socialise together, celebrate together, and so on), but it definitely has been hurting billions of people for the past thousands of years and we should look for a way to eliminate this system as soon as possible.
It’s one vote away. Every bigger city can have one school for early birds and one for night owls. Then parents can start work whenever they want. For that, companies can have flexible starting times. If they work in shifts, allow people to trade shifts so that some do all the early and some do all the late shifts.
Without artificial light, there were no sleep problems because more than enough hours were darkness. People took breaks from sleep.
