Why are we not used to waking up early?

Recently I have finished school and I’ve realised that most of my life since I was 4, I’ve been waking up at 6/7 am and I was just thinking why our body isn’t used to waking up early assuming you’ve had a good night sleep.

We have evolved to wake up when the sun rises. It’s usually waking up while it’s still dark that tend to be difficult. The reason is that it would’ve been really dangerous for Paleolithic humans to wander around in the dark in the morning. So our brain is hard-wired to wake up as the sun rises.
