      You can get sunlight after work without harming people’s health.

        Your mom can get sunlight after work without harming people’s health, bro.

        Really though, as I understand it, it’s the time change that causes issues. Best of both worlds, just stay in DST forever. No increase in mortality after time changes, but we all get an extra hour of daylight in the evening.

          The American Medical Association disagrees. This article from the journal of clinical sleep medicine helps debunk those myths.

    TIL DST happens at different times for different areas… Something I never really considered.

    One global time. If the sun rises at 7, good for your area, if it rises at 10, guess what, school and work start at 11

    People who don’t like DST are just self centered.

    They don’t like it because moving the clocks by an hour twice a year slightly inconveniences them

      Yes the increased health risks and danger to children are very inconvenient to me personally.

          That’s not an issue at all during summer. Do you really need sunlight until 22:00 at night? Right now you basically cannot be outdoors during summer nights because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time it cools down enough to be outdoors it’s already time for bed.

          The best parts of summer nights are when the sun goes down and the world finally cools down enough to be outdoors. We should move the clock an hour back in summer to get more of that. Call it Moonlight Saving Time.

            I NEVER get sunlight at 22:00 at night, spring ahead or not.

              I live in northern Europe, summer days are long. We don’t get actual night for several months (best we get is astronomical twilight for a few hours). DST makes no sense here.
