Yes, this is definitely a fight worth fighting.
It is completely nonsensical, not to mention unhealthy, both physically and mentally, to suddenly hard-reset the body clock plus/minus one hour on a permanent basis, especially if one lives up north.
One day you sleep an hour less and it is just as dark and cold outside. What for?
Actually, what are the arguments FOR "daylight saving time"?
I personally hope they will fast-track this and get rid of DST as fast as possible!
- ac29 8y agoThe argument for DST is that it keeps sunrise approximately the same time throughout the year. Take a look at the chart here for an example: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco Without DST, twilight would be about 430AM during the longest days of Summer, which harms sleep (at least it does for me).
- jnurmine 8y agoSunrise even with DST in Stockholm is now 0345 (AM). And the Sun sets at about 2200 (10 PM). DST is just an annoyance at best. I don't know if people do that in US but around here one can buy light blocking curtains to make the room(s) completely dark. I have no trouble sleeping in general when it's brighter but do sleep much better with the curtains.

I hope you're not planning to do any jet travel. Lots of people have 5-9 hours of jetlag multiple times a year, and they seem to living just fine :)
