I hate night watchman, why not have one just before lunch or tea? What's the diff?

Good criticism. The only answer I have is that it hurts team psychologically more to go into the next day having lost an extra (important) player compared to losing someone before lunch.
Plus I think batsman are more nervous before stumps so more chance of a wicket - I am making this last reason up.
