Bon dia!
Some thoughts.
For the most part of the population, the conception of time will have changed and working clocks, if available, will be used only as guide. Military units still tied into a larger organized structure could be one notable exception. In this last case, perhaps the most significant example would be crews on board ships.
For those lucky stable communities which are able to normally produce their needed food supply the situation will probably be like in the 18th or 19th century. Clocks will still be used as a good reference but the availability of sunlight will mark the rhythm of the day. The agricultural tasks will mark the rhythm of the year. If food is produced in enough quantity, the day could be divided in periods similar to our normal working day. Darkness will be synonym for danger.
For communities in a day to day struggle for their survival, the most part of the day will be used in a desperate search of food. Stomach will rule and nearly no stable and real divisions will exist in a normal day. There’s no space for a clock here…
