Not sure I get the point of the author. I really like the Mediterranean schedule but it's far from "solar based" we stay up until midnight normally.
I like it from a different point of view, which is that stores are opened after I finish working. The average worker doesn't have time for a siesta in the middle of the day. But once you finish working at 5, things are still open. You can go to the dentist, you can go shopping, restaurants close at midnight, etc.
It's way more flexible for me (way less flexible for service workers though). I moved to the US and I have to take time off of work to even get a haircut...
Time off of work to get a haircut is insane. Aren't there barbershops open in the evening?
He's saying it was solar-based up until a hundred years ago or so, no?
It's an odd article, because it claims that shops being open until 10pm (after a siesta break) is the solar-based schedule
