The wasting energy argument seems to be the opposite to me. People will get home and not have to immediately turn on lights, saving some energy. Not everyone is awake at 6:30am, so their lights remain off.

Instead of a waste of energy in the evening?

Your arguments have very subjective points and you could easily claim that due to WFH more people are waking up later.

WFH affects a very small part of the population. Most working people have to start early for various reasons and have to go to a workplace. Having the Sun is useful for them. Most people start work at 8AM.

> And a waste of energy in the morning

How is it not the same waste of energy in the evenings? People don't go to sleep when the sun sets.

Because you're awake for a longer period when it is dark out so you need to use energy.
