But your solution only works if you have a flexible schedule. You say, "I don't have to deal with the shock of losing an hour sleep in the spring," but that's only because, presumably, there isn't a manager standing at your desk at 9 a.m. wondering why you are showing up to work an hour later than everyone else all of the sudden. People aren't ruled by Daylight Saving Time, they're ruled by schedules. The actual number doesn't matter at all -- I go to sleep at 11 p.m. in whatever time zone I'm in because it's about 8 hours before I need to wake up and jump into my schedule. Saying "11 p.m." is really "10 p.m." doesn't change the fact that I'm 8 hours away from waking up.
