Delayed sleep phase is defined in the article as going to sleep at 2-3am and getting up at noon. It said that most people wake up at around 7am but ~40% wake up noticeably earlier or later than that. So I wouldn't say it's irrelevant for the vast majority of the people.

(I personally like to wake up late, though it's not tremendously painful to adjust to another schedule.)

Agreed. Simply waking up naturally at 8 or 9am makes it challenging to keep a traditional work (or school) schedule. It's worse if you're not on the east coast, but are expected to join meetings with people who are.

Exactly. The East Coast can go to hell :) Meetings before 10am (MY time) in general can go to hell. I don't mind a quick status meeting with the team (that actually helps me get to work on time), but otherwise, morning meetings suck.
