This assumes people wake up at a certain time of day. ...which is entirely arbitrary.

It's not arbitrary, it's based on sunlight. The sun sets our mental clocks.

This is why a lot of people advice against using screens late at night—because they contain a lot more blue light than regular household lights, and thus throw our bodies out of balance. But, those are still much smaller light sources than the sun!
