I grew up in the flower business--The Boston Flower Exchange opened at 6:00 am until noon and the vendors were there before and after those hours. We can all think of dozens of jobs where people are working before 8:00 am and keeping your world running.
This pushback against teens and circadian rhythms is all kind of weird and arguing about nothing, some sort of funny identity politics. Especially since it starts with a request for peer reviewed studies...and then won't accept peer reviewed studies...even before those studies are read by those complaining.

Descant's post and mine are in agreement--there is no standard wake up time, whether it's for college or Dunks. Given that, some sound like old men reminiscing about walking uphill to school each morning, and then walking uphill to get back home
