    Look again, please. There is absolutely no way that there are more than 25 hours between 10:05PM one day and 02:04AM the very next day.

    Looks like 22 minutes after midnight to me not 10:05PM. 🙂

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
