This is what I wish that we would do. Just stay on daylight saving time It will make everything more natural. The sunrise/sunset will move progressively and naturally toward longer days in mid summer and shorter days in mid winter, it will eliminate confusion over when the time changes and the unnatural step changes in the sunrise/sunset times. And people will go about their lives normally. Kids will get used to leaving for school before sunrise in the winter because they will be accustomed to the progressive loss of daylight throughout the fall, and people who go to work at 7am and leave at 5 will get a few brief moments of daylight at the end of the day to go for a walk or take the kids to park after work.Oldgringo wrote:Okay, let's do it all year long then.

In my dream world I will go to sleep when I get tired and wake up at sunrise +/- 30 minutes regardless of the time. Unfortunately I've got about 30 years of waking up to an alarm clock still ahead of me.
