[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But who needs light at 7? My kids school starts at 7:30 and we walk. We start walking at 7:20… it’s totally fine. What’s not fine is darkness at 5pm when kids would like to play outside. Instead they just play inside [/quote]

In the morning all you’re doing is going to work or school.  Afternoon is the time people can really enjoy and use the daylight.  For a country that desperately needs more exercise, we should be lengthening the time for outdoor activities.  We need to make DST permanent and keep that extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon.[/quote]

We are also a country that is very sleep deprived, so it stays light too long in the summer.[/quote]

So maybe we should do the opposite - instead of falling back and springing forward, maybe we should fall forward making current DST the fall schedule (so we can enjoy the brief sunlight in the afternoon and still go to bed reasonably early), and spring back, setting the clocks an hour earlier than current DST (so the extra sunlight is in the morning before the heat of the day hits, but the sun will be setting earlier and disrupt less sleep).
