Geography definitely makes a difference, but I think that on average, society is currently optimized for early risers at the expense of late-risers. I've been trying to find this article all afternoon, and I finally remembered enough of the title: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/18/11255942/morning-people-evenin...

The article largely thinks increased schedule flexibility is the solution, but I don't think that's every going to be practical for many types of work. But, we can at least make sure we don't make our world even more lopsided.

I don't disagree, I'm just pointing out that geography magnifies the early riser problem. Schedules set by early risers in the east in a timezone are "twice" as early for late risers in the west of that timezone. When the sun of your city is always 45-minutes to an hour behind the city that "leads" business in your timezone, even some of their late-risers start to look like early-risers with respect to sunlight hours.
