The problem is not just the 9-5 society (or more like 7-3 if you're working in construction or similar). These received schedules doesn't work for everyone and that is a problem. But the problem is also that there is simply not enough time for sleep in most people's daily schedules, no matter at what time of the day you put it.
If you have a full time job and a commute and you have housework and other chores that needs to be done for things to function and you also want to have the luxury of feeling like a person with some kind of agency to decide what you want to use your time on, even if it is just for a little while, then you rarely have the time to also get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. This gets even worse if you have children.
The only way the ruling liberal-conservative ideology can engage with the problem is to turn it into a question of individual moral shortcomings and shame people for taking a little leisure time for themselves at the end of the day. "Why are you complaining about being sleep deprived, you ungrateful peasant? Just do nothing but work and sleep."
Believe me it’s still 7-5 and it’s fucking bullshit.
