There are a couple of issues that get confused in this discussion that end up reinforcing the status quo. 1 - The only problem with DST is the change in timing. There is a spike in all sorts of issues including accidents, heart attacks, etc in these days. The change itself is a problem. 2 - We have constantly underestimated the need for sleep and its association with the circadian rhythm and as a result, we face a lot of problems. DST/Standard time changes were an effort to solve the problem for 1 group of people, Midwestern farmers, and imposed it on everyone else. What we really need is to eliminate the DST/Standard Time confusion and then individual systems need to set their own times for doing things. Those times will depend on the kind of work, the people jnvolved, and then depending on the time and the needs it may even have to change through the year. But the onus should lie on my company and me, or my kid’s school and him to track what time they should be meeting through the year.
