The bonus energy times REALLY screw over some while giving preferential treatment to others.

Those at UTC (+-1 hour) are sitting pretty, with bonuses at:
11am-1pm
5pm-7pm
9pm-11pm
6am-8am.

Every one of which easily doable even if you have a job with a normal schedule.

Folks like me at PDT (with a sane schedule)? Not so much...
4am-6am
10am-12am
2pm-4pm
11pm-1am

Middle of work for 2, sleeping for the other 2. With a discrepancy like that, There's no chance of "keeping up". That's an extra 240 energy a day. Almost a full days worth.
