I much prefer sleeping when it gets dark, and this fits in much better with our body's circadian rhythm. If doing things in the dark is such an issue, why not change business/school hours to work around that? Who decided that 9-5 is the optimal time to do business? Why should we disrupt our body's natural attunement to daylight just because our bosses won't let us leave until it's already dark? Why not look at "summer business hours" instead of "daylight time"?


All of that is correct, very smart, and impossible to implement from the top. At this point the idiotic way to do things is just too ingrained. All that can be done is play with DST a little.


Most od the year, if not whole year, there is dark long before going to sleep.
