Honestly, in some orgs in my company "I was asleep" would be the only acceptable answer. All the others would put you on a path of getting fired. If the whole org operates like this, no one cares about your witty remarks.
If you really don't want to work like this (and I don't), have a 1:1 with the manager, discuss boundaries, and if you can't come to an agreement, change teams or jobs.
And better yet, ask these during the interview! One question I often asked:
"In my current job, I typically leave my laptop at work when I leave at 5-6pm (unless there's a genuine ongoing emergency). Would that work in this role?"
