    I much prefer more light in the evening than the morning. I really hope eventually we snap to our senses and put an end to the time change. It sucks so hard in the winter.

        What I prefer is the opposite of what is about to happen in the fall time change. Setting the clock back means the sun sets an hour earlier. That shit is miserable in the Netherlands it’s practically dark by 4pm in December.

          The sun naturally does what you’re saying. The time change is to make up for it and allow more sun in the day. It’s why it was created. Where I am right now where the sun was rising around 6:30am or so it’s now not rising until ~7:30 and will be after 8 soon in November and it will be setting around 5pm. When it was setting at 9pm. This isn’t due to setting the time back an hour. The earlier you get up with a later rising and early setting sun, the more sunlight you have in the day.

          All this said I just would like it to go back indefinitely so at some point in my 3rd shift job I’M on the day shift. Muahaha

            Your condescending reply ignores that fact that there’s a big chunk of the rest of that half of the year where the sun doesn’t set at its earliest but still sets early.

            Not shifting the time back in the fall would mean people getting home from work still get more evening daylight hours for part of the fall and winter.

            You also seem to forget many buildings people work in have these things called windows through which sunlight can enter.
