    No make summertime permanent so you have one hour more in the evening… It’s going to be dark in the morning no matter what.

      Get up one hour earlier, and voila, one extra hour of daylight. No need to impose the clock change to everybody.

        You are literally doing that with the archaic “get up earlier” mentality. 99% of people will be awake at 5-6pm to take advantage of an extra hour of light.

          Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn’t magically give people an extra hour. That’s all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I’m concerned.

          Disclaimer: I’m a night owl; I could care less for waking up early.

          Making the time wrong makes people get up later, tho.

          I didn’t mind getting up at 6-7am in Indonesia, I HATE getting up before 9am in the Netherlands. But then, the Netherlands is 2 hours off its natural time zone…

        That’s nice for people who don’t need to be out of bed until 6ish in the morning. See how much you might enjoy it when you need to be up a 4:30am every day. The last damn thing I need is the sun being up until 10pm and a bunch of clowns whoopin’ and hollerin’ until 11pm because DST.

      Summertime is terrible, especially in summer. You have one less usable hour in the evening.

      During the summer you cannot really go outside until the sun goes down. It’s simply too hot in direct sunlight. Summer evenings are nice, after the sun goes down and the world starts to cool down a little. By moving the clock forwards we have an hour less of usable outdoor-time. It also means you have less time for things to cool down before going to sleep.

      DST makes it so you have to go bed too early, being unable to enjoy the evening, and when you go to bed it’s too hot to sleep, but you have to because you have to get up at a ridiculous time the next morning.

      Instead of DST we should introduce MST (Moonlight Saving TIme) and move the clock an hour backwards in summer. Then we can actually enjoy our summer evenings and go to bed once things have cooled down a little more. The earlier sunrise doesn’t matter since there is such a thing as blackout curtains.
