Don’t listen productivity gurus: why waking up at 6am won’t make you successful

This is super impractical. Although we'd all like to be able to set our own schedules there are deadlines to meet, meetings to attend and relationships to tend to. When everyone around you is working the 9-5 you've got to meet them halfway. Waking up early, eating healthful meals and exercising are good ways to do that.

And by the way, this talk about "prime time" is insane. You can get into flow whenever if you block out distraction, buckle down and are actually good at what you do.

Indeed, which is the reason I find it insane you would have to get up at 6 for it. I like to go to bed at 2-3 am and get up at 10; works fine, always has.

I'd really like to know how hard wired we are to sleep at certain times. Listening to comments on HN seems to indicate it's set in stone although I have my doubts about that.
