For those in the states, is this something a change with daylight savings can fix? I’m in the dark on that (pun!) and wondering if a change could help?
I mean, yeah, but I don't like using "fixed" here. Going to permanent regular time would mean the sun wouldn't rise an hour later during the DST months. DST ends on Halloween this year so we'd have an earlier sunrise right now.
But it doesn't change anything else. Winter is standard time already so it's not going to change anything about the sunrise or sunset in December. It's also not adding any sunlight, just shifting the times.
It's the problem.
Soooo (Jesus it’s hard to get a response) HOW DO YOU THINK CHANGING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS COULD SOLVE IT?
Jesus I dare you, talk about it….
Daylight savings time is why we are an hour ahead right now. If it didn't exist we'd already have an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon. Not that it will even help much because by the time it ends we'll be down to like 10 hours of sunlight in a day anyway. Most of which will be spent at work.
Doesn't really help all that much, daylight savings doesn't really matter if you have around 8 hours of sunlight (or way less depending on where you are). With getting ready for work and all that jazz you'll always either get home in the dark or go out in the dark. I guess you could offset by 4 hours to get back home when it's sunny, but the benefits of jetlagging the entire population of a continent just for that is not worth it.
The current 1 hour shifts affect all sorts of things negatively (e.g. higher car crash stats in the 2 weeks after a change), so an even harder lag is probably not worth it.
The previous poster mentioned that the shift is the problem, which is partially true. The daylight savings time was invented so that factories needed less light, it's intentional to disregard the workers time off.
