    Kids don’t get daylight in the winter under standard time.

    We send them to school before dawn. They are locked indoors until a brief recess at lunch time, then locked back indoors until 3pm. In winter, that gives them just enough time for sunset shortly after they get home.

    In December and January, the only school-day hours of daylight they get to enjoy are the ones given to them by Daylight Savings Time.

    Morning daylight is more than adequately replaced with a smart lamp next to your bedroom window. There is no replacement for evening daylight.
