If we plan to live on the Moon, it's going to need a time zone

Indeed, the Moon is tidally locked to Earth and thus a lunar day/night period is around 29.5 Earth days long. Which is a little too long to stay awake, so much like in our polar regions, inhabitants will simply ignore the sun and just live their normal human 24/25h day cycle. Even more easily since they will be living underground, under artificial lights.
