    0 minutes of daylight is gained from daylight savings time.

    60 minutes is how much is shifted to later in the day.

      I completely agree with this point. But using the conventions of “business hours” to drag people out of bed earlier allows them to get off work earlier and utilize the daylight they already have more fully. But it is without a doubt a psychological shell game.

        The main problem is that the old 9 to 5 business hours puts three hours before noon and five after, which is why DST moves time later in the day.

        Just change ‘business hours to’ 8 to 4 and call it a day. or 7:30 to 4:30 if it needs to be 8 hours plus lunch.

        There is no amount of daylight I can utilize as I’m not a farmer. Where the sun is has almost no bearing on my life but forcing me to suddenly wake up an hour earlier certainly does

      I don’t know what exactly this is measuring, but the amount of daylight in a day does change throughout the year. If this is measuring the amount of daylight gained from dead winter to the shift, then it actually is increasing the amount of daylight.

        “In addition to” makes it sound like it is being added.

          It’s definitely in addition to dst, look at the southern states… the blue/cyan is 50 minutes (plus 60)

            If you are counting the shifting of 60 minutes to the evening, then you o ly add half of the increase in actual daylight per day to the evening because that is split across noon. You don’t add the whole of both to the evening.

            It doesn’t make sense to add those two numbers together in any context.

    We live in an age now where everyone could potentially sync up with “sunrise” as a floating value.

    Your alarm clock will wake you up at sunrise +0.5h (if the sun doesn’t).

    Work starts at sunrise +2h.

    Daylight savings time no longer exists.

    Everything is good.

      DST does not change the amount of sunlight. Just shifts the time frame.
