> you'll find waking up without natural light is an awful experience

Isn't California trying to switch to permanent DST? In Santa Barbara that will move winter sunrise to as late as a little past 8 AM. That's going to limit how effectively a lot of people can use natural light to help wake.

No idea what CA is doing with DST. As I mentioned in another comment, I misspoke. My issue was less about waking up to natural light and more about waking up in pitch black and using artificial light in place of natural light.

In the winter I wake up before sunrise; however, there is still small slivers of ambient light out there(from the moon) that makes it through my blackout curtains which makes a world of difference.

Again, all anecdotal evidence but I'm inclined to join the rabble on this building given my personal experience.
