      He’ll lock it into non-dst to the sun won’t rise until 8:30 in the winter in the middle latitude states.

        But dst doesn’t change what the sun does. Just the arbitrary number us humans put on it. Not changing a pattern 2 times a year seems great! Who cares what number it is? I used to love in Minnesota, DST and short winter days, now I live in Arizona, we have plenty of sun and no DST. The sun rises at 5am in Arizona in the summer. But that changes nothing about my day.

          about my day.

          Unfortunately, you’re not the only person in the world. I’m super happy that your day doesn’t start early enough for that to screw you over, or maybe you like getting up the pitch black, but the majority of Americans would like to have some morning light around Christmas.
