In my experience you can’t really have that conversation. The conversation is equivalent to “please change the way the team works, just for me.”
If a company isn’t set up for that, it’s hopeless. You’re asking to be more special than everyone else, and everyone else is going to notice.

It's unfortunate that there are companies that operate this way.
Presumably you are there because they wanted you there. Making a change to accommodate one person shouldn't be a big deal. I've said it a few times in these threads already, but processes should never be set in stone. You should always assume your processes will change. It doesn't have to be a huge change, just finding something that works for everyone. Of course, there is always going to have to be compromise, but the conversation should be allowed to be had.

There's no reason to beleive that youre the only person who wants a similar change. Not without bringing it up, and even if nobody already wants the change, they may not have thought about it, and will decide its a good idea when they have

I have had that conversation multiple times in multiple teams. We adjust things when they don't work; e.g. if someone is obviously not making it to a meeting in the morning.
I don't see why you couldn't make that ask.
And that starts with a conversation (like the thread OP implied in their answer). Hopefully the conversation would then avoid any pressure on you in saying that the meeting doesn't work for you.
