the average day for an MIT student

Hmmm…

When I read it I have feeling that most of the institute works at night, and play in the day.

It is innatural. It would be much better to work during the day [more efficiently, so it will take less time], and then go to do sports, waste time, urop…

Otherwise it is less efficient because of two reasons: 1) Your brain is packed with stimuluses [the whole day! Including some awareness packing sports and interesting ecs] , and it will be defencing itself to receive more.
2) Brain is less active in the night, and the light is much worse which worsen seeing.

If all institute lives in this way, why do not you force administration to switch at least some ec activities to 12pm-3am??? It would be much more efficient to do sports and ecs in the evening, and learn during the day, at least sometimes, or for a bigger part of the day [because all of us probably want sometimes to walk in the sunny day, not only work :). The creativity is boosted in such a situation, you know ;). It has rational, praxeological explanation ;)]
