Switching sucks but DST is better than Standard Time.

    Which part of the year is DST and which part is Standard Time?

    I know, but it seems like half the people that say they prefer DST have it backwards.

    It's easy, the good part is DST (which is what we're currently in - Spring through Fall in the northern hemisphere).

    It's only good from spring to fall. Come winter and it's a permanent depression.

    I don't know what you mean by evening, but it's already dark at 16:00 during winter. You only get some light in the morning. DST means no more light in the morning and no more light in the evening. Complete depression. DST should not exist.

    Standard Time during that period is what's depressing.

    With standard time you get some light in the morning. With DST you get no light at all. Also there's nothing worse than waking up in the darkness.

    Sure there is... Coming home from work in the darkness is way worse than waking up in it.

    As I explained in my other comment, there's no situation where you're getting any daylight in the evening with DST, that's just not possible.

    Also daylight in the morning sets your day on a high note. The morning you're spending in the darkness is what turns your life into a winter long depression. Coming home in darkness is inevitable and has a lower impact on your mental health. And with DST effectively removing BOTH morning and evening daylight, you'll be completely fucked.

    i still dont even understand what DST even is, as far as i care because i don't is that DST just means we change the time, because god forbid the time be a little funky.

    DST is shifting the sunlight later in the day during the summer.
