In Japan we don’t have DST, but now with autumn/winter coming, it gets dark at like… 4:40pm. No matter how early I leave my work, it’s either already dark or getting dark, and it’s the worst.
Having no daylight after work is very depressing, and a lot of people start seeking treatment around this time (info from my psychiatrist)
I want something like DST here, where we’d just shift the hours an hour (or 2 hours) later in winter, or make a permanent adjustment to move JST by an hour.
- helix278 3y agoThat is the reverse of what summer time does in all countries. Summer time makes the evenings longer while postponing sunrise. The reasoning is that everyone is still in bed at 5 AM, so might as well postpone sunrise to 6 AM and getting that extra bit of light back at the end of the day.
- tmm84 3y agoI live in Japan as well and I can’t stand not having DST sometimes. Just knowing sunrise was about 3-4 hours before I woke up (8/9am) is enough to throw off my natural sense of time. My wife on the other hand when visiting the USA thought it was weird to see the sunset at 7pm. I guess it all depends if you’re willing to get up according to the sunrise and sleep after sunset or what time it is according to the clock.
