On the other hand, i work better in afternoon no matter what. 2-5 are my most productive hours. Maybe how you feel isn't how everyone feels. A better solution would be to allow employees to choose their half a day/ a day off.

We used to have 9-6 working hours, but +- 2 each way, it was funny, almost everyone chose to come in early, and do 7 to 3, except the programmers who all decided to do 10 to 7 or 11 to 8,

It worked well though

Yeah, you will obviously need a day or some hours where there is an overlap. So for a 4 day work week, maybe you have 2 days where you have to work. But that will still be a much better and a flexible solution.
Yep. I’ll spend most of the morning waking up anyway. I can do it at work or I can do it at home, either way I’m not going to be very productive before afternoon.
