Na you have large population centers where a lot of alarm clocks go off at exactly 7am. The same people fall asleep over a longer interval of time the night before.
Of course there are moments where more people awake at the same time than fall asleep at the same time. In the second 07:00:00 , yeah, more people awake than fall asleep. The same isn’t true for 22:13:35.
And if you look at all seconds of the day you will find that on average, each second the amount of people that fall asleep is roughly equal to the amount of people waking up.
What you are talking about is variance. There is a higher variance in the times of people falling asleep than there is in the times of people waking up.
That does not mean that “more people wake up at the same time than fall asleep”. There are times of the day when significantly more people wake up than fall asleep, but as a counterweight, on prettey much all other times, the amount of people falling asleep is slightly higher than the amount of people waking up.
So actually, it’s the reverse. Given that most people wake up to alarm clocks, if you pick a random time of the day, it is likely that in that second more people fall asleep than wake up

that is a good point I didn’t think about alarm clocks
I suppose every half hour there would be a surge of people waking up lol
Plus anyone who does in their sleep.

However, that’s not what the title is saying. The title says that more waking times are lumped at the same second in the morning.
This, and also just that it’s not that deep. It’s ShowerThoughts, not ShowerEpiphanies.
