I mean, if you want to live like a monkey, you wouldn't have to get up at 5 am either.
I get the point of this meme, but it's not correct. Most animals wake at the break of dawn for predator/prey reasons.
For instance, herbivores that live around loins wake-up very early as most loins hunt in the late afternoon....
There is a reason why some animals are active during the day and some at night. Availability and competition for food, safety from predators and temperature are some of the factors that influence the day and night sleep patterns of animals.
Evolution over course of time has helped animals find suitable time during the day to stay active and search for food while avoiding predators.
Lions are mostly inactive during the daylight, making daylight hours suitable for herbivores to stay active and graze.
