As I said this seems like it would work in practice but has been shown time and time again that it doesn't work reliably. Cast-aways who are rescued are almost always at least a few days out date-wise from where they thought they were.
People get up to go to the toilet then decide to have another little nap, then can't remember whether they've marked 'got up today' already or not (because they "got up" more than once today).
