    why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.

    e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.

      It already exists and is called UTC. I worked in an office that provided “follow the Sun” technical support, we had offices in France, Germany, Washington, New York, Australia, and everything ran on UTC time. Much easier to coordinate meetings and shift handovers. Took a while to learn to think in UTC time as well as local time, though.
