"2-DST" would make it so that people have to get up much earlier in the day though, right? From my experience, in places up north people find it harder to wake up early in the winter because the morning darkness (I'm sure the cold doesn't help either).
- lutorm 7y agoAt high latitudes, it doesn't get light until so late that you will reasonably never wake up in daylight in the winter. But moving the light later would make it more likely that you can get out and actually see some light as opposed to going to work when it's dark and getting out when it's dark again.
- James_Henry 7y agoIt's not about waking up in daylight. It's about a large chuck of the population waking up earlier than is healthy. When you have research showing that the western edge of a timezone is worse off health- and sleep-wise, it is clear that a policy pushing people to get up earlier is not good.
