So @sotolf reminded me of something I kind of love. The Japanese "30-hour system". Used in nightlife, broadcasting, and transport, the time extends the day past midnight to keep late-night events grouped with the same calendar day. So a club open from 11PM to 1AM might list its hours as 23:00–25:00.

We should all adopt this!

Sadly Wikipedia does not have a detailed page on this system in English but here is a little longer explanation:

A sign for underground bike parking from Japan. The opening hours state 5:00 to 25:00
