    Ah the eternal war of the dawnies and the duskies…

    I think a lot of the issue is that it’s possible to shift to a 24 hour economy with morning and night shifts, but (like remote working pre-covid) we hear a lot of “it’s not possible”.

      Maybe but you can read a lot of negative impact on overnight shifts. At one point I considered it / working for a startup where we were all doing insane hours - my manager actually demanded I be both first in and last out. Good riddance to that toxic place but working overnight would have been the closest to a sane choice.

      Some humans evolved to wake up when the sun rises. Others evolved to hit peak wakefulness in the middle of the night. Humans evolved with shift sleeping and night watchers, and are most likely naturally biphasic sleepers as well.
