  • Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn’t magically give people an extra hour. That’s all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I’m concerned.

    Disclaimer: I’m a night owl; I could care less for waking up early.



















  • The opposite. For northern latitudes, the time switch is actually somewhat beneficial. People generally don’t love waking up and going to work/school/whatever in the pitch black. DST doesn’t magically “save daylight.” The total amount is daylight is the same for either.

    The only real solution is permanent Standard Time. Local businesses and governments already shift their business hours as they see fit for other reasons, so keeping “summer hours” and “winter hours” is totally reasonable.
