Real convenient to always ask "how many hours is that from the typical time you wake up in" or "in what position is sun to the horizon" or something lol.
"What time should I call you back, or what time will you be calling me? Is there a time-frame in which I should not call you? Me, I sleep from 10-to-18."
Do you not even know anyone who works second or third shift? Hell, when I was on a line-boat, we did 6 hours on shift, 6 hours off(sleeping). It wasn't that hard for the half-dozen contacts I had set to bypass Do Not Disturb to remember not to call or text me during my off hours unless it was important, and of course I knew when to let them sleep.
Let me ask you this: Do you remember your overseas friends' sleep schedules by their time-zone, or yours?
"Some people work or sleep in irregular or differing schedules from everyone else, that's why it's totally reasonable to make everyone go through this song and dance to know what time is the normal time over where everyone lives."
What a fucking pain of a system you've though of. Imagine thinking your comment sounded reasonable when at least 90% of people follow approximately the typical "daylight time is the normal time" schedule. Going with a regular daylight time schedule is a reasonable assumption almost always. There's a reason it's followed and why time zones just make sense.
I'm not the one who suggested it. It's still not any more of a pain than time-zones.
