Nah. Any solution you come up with that accounts for how humans actually use time will just reinvent time zones. Could they be more cleanly specified than they are? Sure. But that's just an artifact of grandfathering in historical practices.

The point is really that as long as we don't live on Discworld we have to divide the world into time zones. Either using different local time zones, or using local awake/sleep zones. Either way you have time zones.
