    It makes the daylight hours easier to manage. It means most people's working day is when its light outside.

    Different time zones just make it easier for people to comprehend whats going on outside and set it to a familiar set of patterns. Swatch, I belive, were trying to institute "world time". I don't think it ever took off though, I've heard from commercial pilots that it makes jet lag worse if you stay in the new timezone for too long.

    This site should tell you more about time zones than you'll ever want to know.
