It speaks volumes that we find it easier to redefine time than to go to bed and wake to earlier.

- ako 8y agoI cant change the times the school of my kids start, so i cant change the time when i start working. I do most of my sports outside, in the summer while it's still light, DST is a great! It's just wonderful to windsurf or kitesurfing till 22:30 in May, June and July. Getting rid of DST means a lot let sporting hours for me...
- romwell 8y agoYou know, I have a better idea then! Let's have DST year round! It both saves the hassle of moving the clock, and gives you the extra hour of sunlight in the winter months as well as summer months!
- mrweasel 8y agoRussia tried going DST only, they had to switch back to winter time only because people hated summer time in the winter. May a better idea would be winter time only in Northen Europe and symmer time only when you get further south.
- creeble 8y agoWe did that once: https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-daylight-saving-time-went-too-far/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-daylight-sav... I'm surprised it's unmentioned here. My recollection was that a kid got hit by a bus in the morning, and that ended that.
- romwell 8y agoThank you! I didn't know about that. Sounds awesome, if you ask me. As a kid, I didn't care in the slightest what the world was like in the morning, but getting home from school in the dark made for pretty tiresome winters. I think the children were used as an excuse to push something the legislators wanted yet again.
- rickycook 8y agoyou can wake up at 4am but that doesn’t change the fact that society centres around 9-5
- amanzi 8y agoExactly this. And if all of society moves forward an hour, then that's just the same as having DST.
- andrepd 8y agoNot really, since changing time is what allows you to wake up later for work.
