I was thinking that maybe it doesn't refer to two suns but to two functionaries, שמשות being the plural of shamash and not shemesh. I don't know if this works etymologically, but it would be the time between the sun, which serves to light the earth during the day, and the moon, which serves to light the earth during the night.
Way out there, I know.
