I think we, the night folk, are descended from the people who stayed awake, making sure the campfire didn't go out and/or keeping watch for predators.

I wouldn't be so upset, if there weren't still nocturnal jobs to be done. But there ARE. We should have been singled out, early on, and told "okay, here's the deal: you're one of the night people. As an adult, please choose from these occupations that are best done at night. You will get a variety of subsidies and tax breaks, to encourage you to continue providing vital services, while the rest of us are sleeping."

Apart from things like night security, waste collection, maintenance, etc, there should also be "normal" services staffed by night people, in order to serve the other night people. Like, doctor and dental offices that cater to the times when night people are just getting off work, can take off work during the night, or are still up at night on the weekends.

But none of that happens. Instead, the modern world is like "NOPE. WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ABSOLUTELY ENFORCE A DAYLIGHT SCHEDULE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE COMPLETELY MASTERED ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY."
