Fuck this. Keeping the DST change is still better than keeping DST permanently. We should stay on standard time all year, I'm sick of having 0 daylight in the morning when I get up.

You get up too early. Relax

You get up too late. Relax. If I get up later I can't go to the gym and get a good workout, then sit and drink my coffee and eat breakfast before work.

You could go to work later.

That's not how the work world works. This site is biased because programming isn't the same, but most corporate jobs still need people working at the same time to get stuff done.

lol yes let us unbias ourselves. Give me a second.

HEY, EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THIS GUY, PLEASE DO NOT ARGUE WITH HIM. IT SHOWS BIAS.

there we go. Ok, please repeat your argument so we can all agree.

I'd rather it be dark when I wake up and light when I am done working, but to each their own.

No, it's not each to their own because this is a society decision. Having dark for the first few hours of my day is crap for my mental health.

> No, it's not each their own

> Proceeds to complain about personal circumstances

You can't have both sides. Either it's a personal problem for everyone, in which case you are free to complain about your specific issues with it, or it's a societal problem and therefore your specific mental health issues are irrelevant.

To each their own means that people can have differing opinions - not that they can each get their own way. This is indeed a 'society decision' - it's moving through the democratic process...

In theory, this adds at most 1 hour of darkness to your day, regardless of when you wake up.

Is there a law that mandates you wake up at the same time every day?

I'm pretty sure sleep is significantly affected by not having sunlight when you wake up, and that's true for everyone, not a personal choice.
