I just strongly dislike my biorhythms being thrown out of whack for several weeks twice a year.

    The real problem with daylight savings time is that we haven’t killed and devoured the oligarchy/hegemony/kakistocracy.

    Yesterday I saw a video with a sleep expert.

    She said that human beings have a problem getting up until it's light and that Daylight Saving Time can mess that up.

    I propose that AT THE VERY LEAST, during the winter, work days be one hour shorter, but with no decrease in pay, and that they start an hour later.

    This will allow people to have a proper amount of sleep, and to see the sun in the morning, to be better rested, and to see the sun at the end of the day.

    Sunset today was at 4:27PM in Augusta, Maine. That is a big damn problem that is only going to get worse for the next ~40 days. That same problem occurs on the eastern edge of every time zone.

    Frankly, I'm not interested in the advice of "sleep experts". I'm more interested in the advice of fitness experts, recreation experts, and everyone else who understands that mornings are the time we waste giving to bosses and clients; evenings are the time we spend on ourselves and our loved ones.

    For me, fitness experts and sleep experts are on the same level. They all have some different story to tell.

    I don't call my labmates molecule experts. That would be insulting but funny. Never a scientist, always an expert buahahaha.

    Yeah, if the day started at such a time that I could wake up at 8am, which is when the sky would be lightening up just before sunrise in the dead of winter (if we stayed on DST), that'd be sweet. I am one of the sun in the morning people, but I'd be willing to rethink my position.

    And the worst part is that my jobs generally start at 10am. I'm just surrounded by days that start way earlier. I also have jobs that start at 530, or 630, or 730, and so the evening light was never such a big deal for me.

    No you shouldn't. Not at all actually. Your hormones typically build up to initiate the sleep cycle around 9:30-10:00pm. It's skience brah.

    Lol if you're going to bed that early and sleeping until sun up then you have early symptoms of dementia.

    Do all the people who have daylight savings time also use energy savings bulbs and money savings tips?

    Can we just pick one time and stick to it instead of swapping twice a year?

    Ya know... a shorter workday in the winter is one heck of an idea. I like it.

    I would like more daylight in the evening and also a shorter work day, thanks.

    I had to start work at 2 this morning. Alarm set for 1:30. Woke up, 30 minutes later it was 1 am again.

    For years I’ve said I never even notice DST because my phone and computer just update on their own. I’ve officially been hoisted by my own petard.

    There is another solution: live far enough up north and the day disappears totally eventually.

    I live up north and I can tell you DST makes fuck-all difference after a week here.
