The astronauts on the International Space Station have a daily schedule, particularly when they are asleep versus awake. Which Earth time zone is closest to their daily schedule?
What time zone is used on ISS to define a day? asks a similar question. Three answers state that time is referenced by UTC. That's not what I'm asking. There is one answer relevant to my question, but it is not the accepted answer, so I'm not sure whether it is an accurate answer. Also, @PearsonArtPhoto made a comment there that this issue should be asked as a separate question.
Also somewhat related, but not directly answering the question: What kind of time regime/schedule do ISS astronauts have?
It is my understanding that the Canadarm2 can be remotely operated from Earth, and that it is often done so while the astronauts are sleeping. In that case, it would make sense to have the astronauts awake when it is daytime in Moscow, so the robotics can be done when it is daytime in the U.S./Canada.

The second question linked shows a picture of the astronauts actual schedule.. You can see that they wake up at 0600 GMT and go to bed at 2130 GMT.

The wake/sleep cycle actually does use GMT. It was chosen as a compromise between Moscow time and Houston time. That permits times for meetings between the ISS crew and personnel in either city during some of their normal working hours.

I can't find it right now, but it's a video, possibly Scott Manley's or Curious Droid's or someone like that, that points out that the supposed "compromise" (actually GMT is fairly close to Moscow time) is related to the subway schedule in Moscow. While the US is car-based (you'd know a little something about that in SoCal), much of the world goes back and forth to work via public transportation.
