And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!

    We could all just cover our windows, take Vitamin D supplements and actually all live on the UTC timezone.

      And let the brits enjoy UTC+0 like nothing happened while the rest of the word scrambles to adapt to the new time system? This is tyranny! I demand a new system where my region is the one with UTC+0 instead!

        Have UTC+0 run horizontally, instead.
        And increase its width to run from +80° to -80°.
        Squeeze the rest of the timezones into the poles

        No! In summer time we’d be a whole hour out of our natural time! It would be too much to handle.

      You still need to convert in your head to “decide if usually awake at this time”. This solves nothing. Plus what if they’re somewhere unfamiliar on a trip?

      Meanwhile stuff like world time buddy or other locations on clocks are very accessible tools

        The joke is that the whole world could go to sleep/wake up/work at the exact same time, day or night.

      I lived in a tiny apartment with a streetlamp just outside my only window. Even with blackout curtains that room had no day/night cycle. I’m still trying to get back on a normal day/night cycle, fifteen years later.

      So, that’s another method you could try.
