Your personal anecdotes say nothing useful about the experiences of other people.

I get pretty wiped out for a week when the clocks go forward or back. I'm only marginally productive when the sun is up, but get a huge amount done from about 8pm to 2am.

But so what? That's me. I don't expect the rest of the world to be the same.

Sleep is clearly very individual. Standard school/office hours are a hugely inefficient waste of the potential of tens of millions of people.

It should be possible to design a more flexible system. But we still have ridiculous notions that early risers are somehow the model of virtue, and everyone else should aspire to the same hours.
