I don’t give a crap about the day starting when the sun comes up. I just want to go home at 5PM in winter and it not be dark already. There are plenty of studies about how this increases depression in the winter. The fact we keep persisting with this perverse nonsense infuriates me.
I’d much rather go to work in the dark and have sunlight after work. The only people that it’s better for are children who would have to wait for the school bus outside in the dark, though in my experience growing up school started early enough that we were still waiting in the dark anyway.
