I know I'd like to sleep later rather than earlier. Yet,
it's difficult to fit everything into the day. So, looking
at holding to 2 hour blocks (which I favor) it's either
trade-off breakfast/sleep-in time for an earlier and longer
lunch or vice versa.

Very subjective choice. 

8:00 start is not uncommon for events I've know about. 8:30
seemed like a compromise, of sorts. 

I don't want to consider trimming 15 minutes off of each
morning presentation to pick up a 1/2 hour.
