That struggle isn't a medical condition but its not something to just shrug and give in to either. learning to stop thinking after a certain time of the day is a skill. It can be practiced.

It seems like there is no particular justification to consider it a disorder. You seem to be advocating conformity for its own sake.

It's not a disorder any more than wanting to eat lots of sweets is a disorder. Modern society is filled with lots of things to consume us especially at night when we should be quieting our brain. Was easy in the past when we didn't have video games or computers around.

Before I had a computer it was usually "just one more chapter".

Let's go back to australopithecine principles, so we can all sleep better. Except someone will need to stay up to look out for predators.
And there you have your evolutionary basis. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
In the morning, my drive to do anything much isn't there - it takes a few hours for the furnaces to come online.
You could argue that that's a medical condition, but I'd argue that it stems from being more mentally active as the day progresses - which is kinda the definition of an owl.
