I think it's also important to note that many people struggle to achieve flow state when context switching between sleep cycles. There's a natural daily rhythm folks go through, and the older one gets, the more it tends to (but not always) shift earlier in the day. Think about that next time you want to schedule a mandatory synchronous event, especially one such as a daily standup.

Some of your team may already be 2 hours into their day by 9am, while others may be just rolling out of bed and not yet deep into something. And some of your folks are starting to wind down their focus period around 2pm to 3pm while others are ready to go deep into the night.

I'm not trying to assert there's a problem with standups or other meetings. I'm just saying if flow state is a priority for an organization, there has to be compromise made in how scheduling, status checks, and synchronization works.
