As a lifelong resident of the state of Arizona (which is the one state that doesn’t do DST), I have never understood the practice. And I would say universally, my distributed co-workers complain about both shifts. When will we end this madness?
- sveme 8y agoWell, Arizona is far south compared to Northern Germany or Scandinavia and the sun sets at approx. the same time in summer and winter. In my hometown it‘s bright till 11 pm in summer and dark at 3:30pm in winter. DST might make more sense in this case, though I‘m still in favour of abolishing it.
- oxymoron 8y agoIt makes sense to pick a timezone that aligns winter daylight with working hours. Daylight is abundant during summer though, so switching is pure stupidity.
- mamon 8y agoUsually people only complain about one shift: the one that makes your night sleep shorter. The other one is nice :)
