Everyone else is throwing in there 2¢, so here's my pet proposal.
Here's the undeniable fact: everyone (ok, almost everyone, but it's a rounding error) hates the switchover in spring, when you have to get up an hour earlier. Conversely, everyone (or a rough approximation) likes the switchover in the fall, when we get to sleep in an extra hour. So why don't we just get rid of the switchover in the spring and get rid of the one in the fall?
Work/school days should just be shorter in the winter. We can easily leave work/school an hour earlier in the winter and nothing bad would happen.
So maybe make the day a bit shorter, same 24 hours same 60 minutes, just shorter by a few seconds, so that we can add an extra hour every quarter.
I vote we sleep in an extra hour for BOTH time changes
Now that's a win-win
I hate both. The time jump in fall means sunset starts happening depressingly early (almost exactly 5pm where I am, which means no sunlight after work).
that's a load of horseshit. everyone around me want's the daylight savings time, to have more light after work. nobody cares about mornings.
> when you have to get up an hour earlier
no you don't. it's weekend.
