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.
it also causes a conflict between human time-schedule and animals like pets, livestock, and other cared for animals
Animals don’t know and don’t care for a clock change. They work with bio-rhythm and familiarization alone. (We humans do too, but put the time-schedule on top, and have to have our bio-rhythm adjust.)
