> It is not so difficult to imagine a modern society where activities such as vacuuming and DIY chores only take place during the day. It is certainly not a return to the Middle Ages.
in the Middle Ages, modern technologies weren't available, and once the sun set, a candle gave light. Showering wasn't popular.
So effectively, the discussed "make the most of daylight modern society" feels like a step back to the Middle Ages to me.
