IT professionals (as a group) aren't really any different than any other group of workers.

Professional "exempt" workers I think you meant to say it will be quite different to a shift worker on the line at Ford or GM

No, I didn't. There are IT shift workers too.

The post I was replying to said they thought Computer and Math workers would be more night owls. Something that is really just based on the mothers basement late at night stereotype of those called geeks.

I was saying that IT workers just aren't that different than everyone else.

Well the number of hourly paid tape ops or punch card operators is probably not that many any more.

And don't forget those special laws that where passed to categorise hourly paid IT workers as exempt.
