In that case, your ideal daylight savings would move the clock forward in the fall and backward in the spring, so that sunset remains close to the same time year round.

- reflexive 10y agoThis is true if your only goal is to maximize the amount of daylight you have after work - taken to its logical conclusion, you would just go to work in the middle of the night and get off in the morning. However, if you add the constraint that you never want to go to bed before sunset, you will improve by adjusting the clock so sunset is at a relatively constant time.
- cheiVia0 10y agoSunset changes day to day, are you really adjusting your clock every day to match sunset?
- reflexive 10y agoAdjusting twice annually (forward and back) is a compromise between adjusting every day and never adjusting. Four adjustments might be preferable for people closer to the poles, at the expense of people closer to the equator.
