I'm attached to summer time personally

I don't want it going dark at 15:30 what can I say, 16:30 isn't much of an improvement but at least it's something

Is that really worth it if in winter sun wont be up till 11 during the weeks that are scientifically known to already cause a depressive mood? (Blue monday)

EDIT; blue monday is apparently labeled pseudo science, still i much prefer a dark summer night with garden lights over waking up what is essentially the middle of the natural night during the colder months.

This morning the sun rose at 6:48. This afternoon it will set at 16:38.

Few people who work 9-5 are going to benefit from it being light at around 6:30 any day of the week (7:30 is still enough for a morning run), yet on the weekends the extra hour to make it light until 19:00 will be so much more valuable for meeting with friends or going out with family etc.

what I don’t understand is why stop at 60 minutes: if we really prefer bright evenings then why not 90 minutes or even a few hours?
