"Why the workday should be 10–6, not 9–5"

Roughly 40 percent of Americans are sleeping less than they should. And a new study, published in the journal SLEEP, found that the main thing people were doing instead of sleeping was working. "It was evident across all sociodemographic strata no matter how we approached the question," study co-author Mathias Basner, a sleep psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania, said in an email”

Yes, more attention for all of these issues and all of this research, please. Sleep quality is so key to health and productivity and we desperately need to let go of the idea of early rising being linked to better moral or work-ethic qualities.
