Really depends where you are on the globe in terms of latitude. Russia is a gargantuan country that currently spans 12 time zones, I don't think there's a single solution that can cover it, especially given that the southernmost portions of the country (mainland) are around 41° and the northernmost parts are around 77°N.
I think the US tends to be much simpler in this regard (49°N-24°N - contiguous states). It seems in much of the country you really do get a more optimized time for sunrise/sunset if we all moved over 1 time zone: http://andywoodruff.com/blog/where-to-hate-daylight-saving-time-and-where-to-love-it/ http://andywoodruff.com/blog/where-to-hate-daylight-saving-t...
- gpvos 7y agoI think it's also dependent on whether you are a morning or an evening person. I'm very much the latter, and if there was more sunlight early in the morning I would better be able to get up and be on time at work with less stress. I can continue as late as I want in the evening or night without outside light, so I have little need for a later sunset.
