I'd rather have it switch than do permanent standard time. It's not good to end your workday in total darkness if you can avoid it. It's nice to wake up in early darkness and see the sun rise. Best would be permanent daylight time.
It’s always this argument with people, all totaled up against people’s overall health - as pretty much every sleep scientist agrees, kids actually being able to get to school because it’s not too cold (not to mention safety as far as light goes), and making night owl’s lives hell. But yeah, you definitely need to drive home in the light instead of the dark for those two months out of the year or whatever. Definitely…
