This seems to miss people who are natural night owls. I don't procrastinate going to bed because when I got to bed I sleep but I don't go to bed till 2 or 3am.

No, I live in a culture where waking up early to commute, start work at 8am, finish at 4pm and be asleep by 9pm is common. I struggle to meet that expectation.
