Couldn't you just get up at, say, noon, work from 2pm until 10pm, and go to bed at 4am? This would be a bit confusing at first but it's basically what people do now. Solar noon would be at a different chronological time for everyone outside of GMT but you'd only have to make the adjustment once, plus it would provide an economic stimulus to compass manufacturers :-)
Yes, this is exactly what I meant. I didn't mean that the whole country would get up at 8am, no matter what the local solar time was. That would be kind of ridiculous.
