I had this great idea last night on the piss.
Less to do with time zones and more aimed at daylight savings since I live near the equator and we don't have it but I want to move to the cold but waking up and going to work dark and finishing work in the dark shits me.
My solution, rather then move the time we speed up the time so we start work at sunrise and end the day with 2 hours of light left.
Sure it will suck when the sun sets at 9pm but it means short work days when it sets early
Where I live, that would mean tomorrow I'd work over 14 hours.
Even if we adjust it so it's 1 hour of sunlight before work* and 3 hours after (for an 8-hour day on average), I'd work 12 hours tomorrow, but only 4 hours in December. No thanks!
*For health, sunlight is most important for waking up, so 1 hour of sunlight before work gives just 1 hour to wake up and get to work. Anything less is sacrificing health for evening sunlight.)
Edit: It would probably be good for SAD in the winter, though, encouraging people to be outside during the daylight hours instead of at work. I could get on board with reduced work hours in winter. ;)
