What time do you wake up?
In Boston (Northernmost major metro on East Coast) the new latest sunrise would be at 8:13am, with a substantial period of twilight before then. Night will officially end at 6:32am, then astronomical twilight ends at 7:06, then officially sunrise at 8:13am. Point is you’re waking up during the dawn even if you’re waking up at 6:30 to get the kids to school.
- collegeburner 5y agoLots of people wake up well before then to go lift/exercise. And looking at obesity rates in America, we could stand to change time to better suit that habit. Some of us also like sitting on our porch with a newspaper and a cup of coffee and some eggs to watch the sun come up.
- thehappypm 5y agoIn the northern latitudes where day length actually changes substantially nobody is doing that.
- bin_bash 5y agoBoston is on the Eastern edge of its time zone so it's not a great example. Seattle's latest sunrise will be almost 09:00.
- thehappypm 5y agoSeattle is so far north it’s hard for there to be much daylight no matter what you do with your clocks :/
- bin_bash 5y agoOK then Atlanta which is much further south would be 08:43
- thehappypm 5y agoThen Georgia can join central time. Changing the clocks is nonsense.
