I would like to stop changing the clocks. I read a while back that in the 1970s they did it and reverted back because so many people complain about getting up in the dark. Seems like it would be best to keep the winter hours honestly. All the proposal I've seen want summer time.
Who wants a 4am sunrise in the summer though? I think more people prefer extra light in the evening since you're out and about already. It doesn't make much different in the winter whether sunrise is at 8am or 9am since everyone is getting up and going to work/school in the dark either way.
What do you do when the sun gets up at 5am? I get up at 7:30. If managed to find a solution for sleeping 2.5 hours in sunlight, I'll do just fine with 3.5.
I've traveled to places near the equator where the sun rises at 4am and once I adapted, I loved it. That being said, and this is key, I wasn't working when I was in those places.
End time changing. Keep summer time year round. I think we need to stop saying "end daylight saving time" because what we actually want is to keep daylight saving time and stop changing the clocks. It can be confusing. Hopefully somehow this is a nonpartisan issue because the disinformation will be nuts if it gets politicized.
To be fair, a place I go in the US the sun is already coming up at 4 in the summer. Maybe split the difference?
When I worked in the office, it was dark when I went to work and dark when I got home (in winter). I don't care which one they pick.
FYI, I was in school in 70s when Ford stopped it. I don't remember it being a big deal. And neither was metric.
