The sun sets where I am at ~430pm during the winter in standard time. I don't really see how having the sun set at 530pm instead would have a substantial effect on bedtime. There is so little sunlight in the winter that work/social life are what drive wakeup and bedtime. I imagine this isn't as true in India. Is there any research that accounts for the actual length of daylight available?
- ilovesunlight 5y agoTalking about the whole year, not just the winter. In Summer later sunset affects bedtime. In winter later sunrise affects rise time.
- caddemon 5y agoThe proposal will only change the winter though, we are already only on standard time for 4 months of the year.
- ilovesunlight 5y agoWe're talking about whether permanent ST is better than permanent DST, not DST switching vs not switching.
