It would be much simpler all round if we followed the example of earlier traditions and saw sunset and sunrise as the changeover times from one day to the next. The early English did this: At sundown of Tiw's day (Tiwesdæg), Tuesday became "Woden's Eve" (Wodnesniht). At sunrise, "Woden's Eve" became "Woden's day" (Wodnesdæg)... then came "Thunor's Eve" (Ðunresniht) and so on. I rather like this; keeps people in touch with the natural world, instead of artificial timekeeping. You get to 'hibernate' properly and naturally in the winter, too.
