Answer:

I believe the typical 5 days, 40-hour work week is an aspect of our daily lives that might not accommodate to everyone's chronotype. Like school start times, many careers practice a 9-5 schedule. However, I can't imagine this working well for an "Owl". If you were to factor in an hour-long commute, breakfast, showering, and any other daily preparations, the time starts to add up. You could even assume someone might need to get up at 6 a.m. or earlier to meet their 9 a.m. arrival.

I don't have definite fixes for this, but I believe that a 4-day work week or possibly a 32-hour work week could work best to fit certain chronotypes. This way, workers could better accommodate to their natural sleep cycle, and be best prepared to work when they do arrive.
