Great so let's have solar noon be at 1pm all year round. Am I the only one that thinks this is stupid? Can't we have a sane time system and everyone just do everything an hour earlier instead?
- tom_mellior 9y agoIf daylight is centered at 12:00, then nighttime is centered at 00:00. But people's sleep habits aren't centered around midnight. Having noon at 12:00 conforms nicely to elementary school teachings of an idealized model, but it does not conform to actual people's actual habits and lifestyle preferences.
- icebraining 9y agoBut under nicky0's proposal, people would still go to bed and get up at the same solar time, it's just that now it would be centered around midnight in clock time.
