Something I genuinely don't understand: everyone is saying that with DST, the sun rises later in the day. But as someone who doesn't work first shift and regularly goes to bed anytime between 04:00 and 06:00, I can tell you with certainty that in the summer time (when DST is active), the sun always comes up *way* sooner. I typically despise DST because I always struggle to fall asleep due to the damned sun coming up right as I go to bed.
Meanwhile, in the winter, the sun typically doesn't start to rise until closer to 08:00.
- EGG_CREAM 3mo agoThe sun would come up even earlier without dst. It’s just the earth’s tilt that’s causing the sun to come up earlier after spring, nothing we did to the clocks.
- encrypted_bird 3mo agoSo what you're saying is I have it backward. In the summer, without DST, the sun would rise like an hour earlier than with DST. Is that correct?
- moi2388 3mo agoYes. You advance the clock 1 hour. So 06:00 becomes 07:00, so the run rises 1 hour later. So getting rid of DST makes it 06:00 instead of 07:00
- encrypted_bird 3mo agoOh. Hey, thanks y'all for explaining it to me. :)
