People are ruled by the numbers on the clock, so we should shift the daylight hours during those hours people are awake to match the natural needs of the people.

But from where did the habits tied to the numbers come? Were they formed without reference to daylight?

Will most people always sleep before 7am and be awake after 5pm, no matter when there is daylight?

For this one at least absolutely yes because of work and after-school activities.
