    I was just about to say that as someone living in a northern country I’d much rather keep switching clocks than get stuck in summertime. Having it be light outside when you wake up is such a blessing, and once that finally disappears is when the endless, tired darkness of winter begins.

    And for the love of sleep, the researchers beg, don’t spring forward permanently.

    Seconding this.

      Daylight savings is during the summer so if we get rid of that you don’t have to change clocks and the sun comes up at the same time it always has in the winter.

        I agree, but the split between sticking with summer or winter time is surprisingly even where I’m at. I’d much rather keep switching than get stuck with the one I consider to be bad.

        It’s morning people vs evening people all over again.

      And as a Canadian I hate winter clock time because it’s dark from the minute I finish work everyday, and it’s usually dark when your getting up in the morning if you have to commute at all too anyway.

      I would prefer being able to see some sunlight on the way home /after work over waking up to some light.

    Where i live, I’d say keep the time as is. We’re already losing a hour of daylight in the afternoon during the winter here due to “falling back” a hour. I’d prefer it darker in the morning instead of the evening, personally.

    Article assuming everybody has the same sleep schedule, and overlooking that nobody gets up at 430 in summer to use the allegedly super important morning light. Surprising omissions, considering they are “sleep experts”?

    Well, this sleep expert here (an expert at sleeping in) is a night owl and can’t use an extra hour of light in the mornings and would rather prefer the summertime schedule all year round.

    Yeah I’m just fooling myself, I know, but if it’s stupid and it works, right?

      Daylight savings assumes everyone has the same sleep schedule and that it is tied to clocks.

      I am a night owl and would love for daylight savings to go away so that the sun sets at a reasonable time in the summer and I don’t have the stupid time change twice a year.
