#3It's not making sense for me.
Sleep when it's dark out. Younger generations are staying up late because of electronic addictions and we're trying to solve that in strange ways.

#4I am on Summer time all time. Winter is the worst for me since it means I get up an hour 'earlier' on the clock. The dark makes me want to crash and an hour earlier for that too.
Also... 'standard' time means it's dark at 4:30pm where I live on the solstice (and I am not that far north) which kind of sucks, so it makes sense for me to champion for permanent daylight savings (which what the Governments for BC, WA, OR and CA all want anyways).

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that these unnecessary time changes causes deaths and wastes a lot of our time and money when technical and/or scheduling problems related to the changes arise

Yet to learn how to hibrenate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_night
But would very much prefer none of tbis switching around.

Re: Case for making Standard Time permanent
#8My favorite proposal is making days from winter to summer equinox 20 seconds longer and days from summer equinox to winter 20 seconds shorter with 5 days of regular 24 hour time split between the two (6 on leap years). It works out to an hour of daylight savings either way, but it's gradual instead of a sharp transition, and we already have the infrastructure for handling non-24 hour days in the form of leap seconds. For mechanical clocks you'd need to adjust them periodically but typical mechanical watch accuracy is +/- 10s per day to begin with so the change would be barely noticeable.
Of course it's a bit silly, but so is daylight savings in general.

Man, the Romans had this one right. Simply say that from sunrise to sunset is 12 hours (and that much again between sunset and sunrise). Problem solved. No need to worry about more/less than 24 hours in a day.

The problem is people won’t want to send their kids to school in the dark and end up more depressed waking up and going to work themselves in the dark.
Russia tried permanent daylight time for a couple of years and ended up switching to permanent standard time: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29773559
For southern and middle USA , it’s not going to be a big deal, either option likely works. For Northern USA and Canada I fear going to daylight time is going to be terrible but once it’s down there won’t be any easy way to switch.
