For more fine-grained reporting like that, you'd want to write a separate entry to the db table (or a text log, that is then loaded into a database for analysis, depending on expected usage) for every action. Even with this more complex, fine-grained log you can easily make the database do the heavy lifting (or at least most of it) for analysis.

What does the usage look like for the hours of 5pm to midnight. Other than that I applaud your simplicity in design and effort in getting the Database to do some of the lifting instead of bloating the page code.
