I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Rising early and going to bed early is more virtuous than rising late and going to bed late.

    Yeah we really gave morning people too much power. Awake at 5AM? You’re a go-getter. Doesn’t matter that you had to be in bed by 8pm to accomplish that. Awake until 4AM? You’re lazy and immoral, and should feel bad for being productive when there are fewer distractions. All because you don’t like being awake before the sun is up. Even if you sleep fewer hours than a morning person, (because morning people will start demanding your attention at 8AM on the dot,) you’re still considered lazy when compared to the morning person.

    Yeah, I just get a burst of energy and motivation in the evening. I'd often do my shopping at or after 9pm (when the shops close at 10-11pm) and I'd feel a lot more productive and, as I already said, motivated, to do the work I have to do, especially with less distractions.
