Of course not, but that's what DST is intended to approximate. It just does a bad job of it due to insufficient granularity. If we did a twelve minute clock shift, with ten evenly-spaced switch days, the jet lag would be a lot less bad.
Since that would also require a lot more work, it doesn't happen, but it's also more obvious what DST is actually doing when you think of it like that.
- dkonofalski 5y agoSo is it designed to approximate a fixed dawn or a fixed noon? It sounds like you're contracting yourself unless I'm missing something.
- notriddle 5y agoStandard Time approximates a fixed noon. DST is a poorly-done jury-rig to make it track dawn instead.
