Currently it is ridiculous that in Spain 10 o'clock in the evening is actually the same that 8 o'clock in Germany.
That is because Germany and Spain share time while being almost two timezones apart.
This was done by Franco to coordinate with Hitler long time ago.
Your definition of "making it worse" is actually making the clock go as it should. That is, the sun is at its zenith at 12 o'clock in the morning. This could be considered a lot of thing , but stupid is not.
Rush hour depends on people, people can change behavior. The sun can not.
