I guess the question is whether school/office hours necessarily have to be rigidly fixed. After all, a substantial chunk of China runs with office hours 10am-6pm rather than 9am-5pm because if they used "normal" hours they'd be in the dark at odd times. Perhaps some areas would be happier moving their core working hours rather than shifting the whole timezone!
I know the Scots are unhappy about the extra dark mornings, but the Scandinavians seem to cope fairly well with considerably more darkness in winter so it's clearly something that can be managed if there's no escape! I personally find evening light is more useful than morning light.
