I think thats it. There are tons of people who dont like waking up early, and it could be an underlying genetic predisposition. Generally speaking, forcing adults to do something they really dont want to do can create some nasty issues. If an employee isnt a morning person but is expected to show up early regularly, its only a matter of time until something gives. Everyday presents a challenge, and if there is no balance, something starts to accumulate (resentment, anger, jelousy).
At least in school you get a whole summer to recover.
Most of the companies I've talked with said they had a preferred time that you come in (typically 9am), but if you wanted some other arrangement, they'd take it into consideration or try it out. The company I'm currently at has people come in as early as 7am to as late as 11am.
As one of Helidor's other posts mentioned, it needs to be mentioned that a flexible schedule/later "clock-in" time is acceptable as long as you get your work done if that's what an individual truly cares about. This all comes back to the position that I and most others I know hold, and that being that you pick your values that you won't budge on, make them known, and poke around until you find something that fits.
To your point of being forced to do something you don't want to do, having been in a company that "forced" me to work 60+ weeks on a regular basis and having almost no time to spend with my family drove me up the wall. I bounced out as soon as I found something better. That presented a very big challenge for all three of us in my family to the point where my kid wondered if I was going to be home in time to put her to bed some days. Hearing those kinds of statements from your kid really puts things into perspective and makes you see if what you are doing is really worth it.
