I feel like I’m in such a minority of people who think DST is great.

No. I don’t like spring forward, but fall back gets me a nice boost as suddenly the sun comes up an 8 am rather than 9.

It’s winter. The sun is going to set at either four or five (where I live, it’s certainly worse other places and better others). You’re not getting daylight after work. It’s winter.

    I think it just comes down to whether you appreciate more sunlight before school/work, or after.

    I don’t really care how much sun there is before 8:30-ish. In fact, I hate when I try to get 1 more hour of sleep and I can’t b/c early dawn’s leaking in, so I actually prefer a later sunrise.

    But when I leave work, I freaking LOVE bathing in sunlight for as long as I can, thinking “my biggest responsibilities of the day are done, and the day’s not even over yet”.

    Where I’m from, standard time in winter means 6ish is pitch black - I prefer to at least have late dusk by that time.

      I envy you. On the shortest days we have sunset 16-ish. Fucking sucks
