I want evening sun more than I want morning sun.
- runarberg 6y agoYou think you do, but I’m not sure you do, and I know you wouldn’t if you were a teenager forced to wake up before sunrise a big part of the year. Source: I was a teenager in a place that observed permanent DST in a heavy north latitude.
- kibwen 6y agoAs a teenager in a place with "normal" DST observance I woke up at 5:50 every day; trust me, I didn't see the sun anyway.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoHave you considered waking up an hour earlier? Unlike the reverse (where you have the start of the workday as a deadline), there's likely nothing to stop you from shifting your day to start and end an hour sooner!
- CarVac 6y agoMy issue is that work ends at 5pm and the sun is already down.
- gregkerzhner 6y agoEven if your schedule is flexible, other people's schedules aren't. This means that if I want to shift my schedule to wake up earlier to take advantage of the morning light, I either have to miss out on evening social activities (lets say an 8pm dinner), or miss out on sleep.
- rosseloh 6y agoBusiness hours. I'm at work from 8AM to 6PM five days a week. Near the winter solstice, the sun sets around 4:30-5:30. Getting up earlier would just make me have to go to bed earlier. It's dark either way.

- runarberg 6y agoEverybody is happy!
