Qualifying time and Practice cutoff

I\'ve joined a league that runs at 7:00 AM my time, so I can get my race in before getting ready for work.  However that means I\'m getting up at 6:20 to get my final practice run in before practice closes.  Is there any reason it closes 30 minutes before race and not something shorter like say 15 minutes, or even when qualifying starts)?  Qualy could be 5 or 10 minutes before race as well.  It\'s not like we can do anything during that half hour, just wait for Qualy results.  How do others feel about this?  I can see the upside for me - more sleep :), and possible for others as well.   But am I missing a downside for other people? 

There is an easier way to get more sleep, join a league which suits your requirement\'s. Eg - Races that aren\'t 7am in the morning for you. 

There are loads of leagues that are suitable for different time zones, preferences, activeness etc so join the league which suits you best.

I think the 30mins is needed for the simulator to organise and run the quali.
Seem excessive but not when you realise how much info is used, I suppose.
