• I read an article that went over how more light in the morning is better for humans. Something about a “time lag” between solar time and our clocks, the bigger the difference, the worse it is for our health. The current proposal is more evening light which is daylight savings time. One of the scientist interviewed said their wouldn’t be sunshine until 9:30am where they lived.

    I’m all for the clocks not being changed twice a year as long as it’s early morning sun.

      In most cases the difference between 9:30am and 8:30am is immaterial. You’re still waking up and going to work in the dark.

      But at least this way you’ll get a bit of light in the evening after work instead of spending your whole day in darkness.

      I did my PhD in a field related to this. Morning light is absolutely the most important. Even more so for school age kids.
