This is why companies enforce early morning hours so you cannot do this. It's literally physically impossible. And/or will ruin your social life since you will be sleeping when others are socializing.

Any bright ideas to apply when you have to run to work early?

I know people that wake up at 3-4am to do their farm work before heading to their day job. You will end up going to sleep earlier though. But for some people, that's what it takes.

Is there evidence for your claim? Not trying to argue against it, but it'd be interesting to know if work culture literally tries to sabotage personal development in order to squeeze out more productivity from employees.

It doesn't have to be framed so negatively. Companies want to buy your prime time, and the market is priced for prime time hours.

Pick up a hobby you can do on the train or bus. Books and learning apps like the OP mentioned are ideal for this.
