When we met in Adelaide, we still had after-dinner sessions, and at the Monday 19:30 session (MPLS, if I recall) at least half the room was asleep.

There are plenty of professions in which people have to work the night shift. They encounter exactly all the problems that we see described here, having to sleep during the day time, eating at odd hours, not socializing with their family, etc. It is hard, but the people doing that manage, including those who have my age. I suppose it is a matter of setting expectations with your family and your job
