What do time zones have to do with the price of eggs? If you usually sleep at 11pm and somebody who lives on the other side of the world sleeps at 11pm what time zone you're in is irrelevant.

if it's 11pm for you, it's not for someone on the other side of the world. if you poll everybody and ask when they wake and sleep, timezones will have an effect. You can travel through a state in the US for example and go through one town which doesn't observe daylight savings, and therefore the time is an hour different then everywhere around it. so, even if everyone in that town wakes up at the exact same moment as everyone in the surrounding towns, they'd say they woke up at different times. that's just one in a thousand ways that time zones screw things up.
besides, my first line was "aside from timezones"--meaning aside from the changes in data that you would get caused by timezones and different places observing this or that, you have all of these other factors to consider.

day cycles are different everywhere on earth. so are night cycles. and within each of those societies there are people who get up at different times during the cycle, go to bed during different times during the cycle. people get up and go to bed at every time. not just at one time, and i doubt that there's a world wide prevalent time, though there may be a world wide prevalent pattern in relation to the sun, but even so, I wouldn't know how to find it
