Explanation: In the modern era, ever since the Industrial Revolution, society has been obsessed with timekeeping and the 'correct' time to get up, go to work, for how long, etc. Romans, like almost all pre-modern peoples, relied mostly on daylight and natural cycles to time their activities. 'Sol Invictus', the Unconquerable Sun, is the sun as envisioned as a deity by the Romans.
I wake up whenever I feel like it, it just so happens to be around 5-6 AM, no matter what day or time of year. But I might be biologically reprogrammed from waking up every day early to catch the bus to school when I was younger or a construction site later.
Now I work from home and wake up every day automatically 10-30 minutes before alarms go off. In the summer its nice, I get to see the sunrise but in the winter its dark. Daylight saving time does not help either.

Heh, zoom in, the alarm screen has easter eggs.
