Dang, I was hoping this article would be about a company whose work hours were set so that the absolute time didn't change throughout the year (e.g. 8-4 in the winter and 9-5 in the summer).
Instead, we get a very different, very interesting tale. Reminds me of TheDailyWTF.

- kelnos 3y agoIn that case, people would constantly be changing their work start time throughout the year, perhaps monthly, but if they really wanted to be pedantic about it, by a minute or so each day. That seems... silly? DST shifts seem worse for our health than just working our regular hours without time changes.

- withinboredom 3y ago> Best to rise with the sun. Now this is an idea I can get behind. Getting to sleep in until nearly 9am sounds great to me. However, if it is summertime, we'll have to disagree since I'd have to technically not sleep under your plan.

- postmodest 3y agoBetween May and July, many cities in the northern hemisphere technically have no astronomical "night". But you made the wish, the monkey-paw curled a finger, and now all of Canada and Northern Europe are living in the Sleep Experiment timeline.
