DST is a very sensitive topic, so better use a throwaway ;) Here are examples what would happen if DST were abolished: If DST ('+1') is adopted permanently, the main effects will be during winter in that sunrise is now an hour later (bad) and sunset as well (which is ok). An example for Berlin, in December: if sunrise used to be at 8:00 (8 a.m.) normal time it is now an hour later at 9:00 (a.m.) (spend some time further north and you will know how much this would suck). Sunset that used to be around 16:15 (4:15 p.m.) is now at 17:15 o'clock (5:15 p.m.) (good/ok). If normal time ('+0') is adopted, the interesting effects are during summer: sunrise is now an hour earlier than it used to be with DST and the same of course with sunset. Example for Berlin, in July again: sunrise that used to be at 5:00 o'clock (a.m.) in DST is now at 4:00 (a.m.) (bad), sunset that used to be at 21:30 o'clock (9:30 p.m.) is now at 20:30 o'clock (8:30 p.m.) (bad if you like spending long summer evenings outside). From my experience most people do not actually hate either, they just do not like the sudden transition. Shifting the daily routing to later hours, especially the sleeping time, is not that bad in autumn. Changing it forward in the spring is harder but not really a problem if you gradually change your sleeping and meal times in advance. I'm currently at it by going to bed a bit earlier, getting up earlier and (trying to) change eating times. Lunch is a bit problematic but breakfast and dinner do not affect others so much, so it's easier to shift them.
