Case for making Standard Time permanent (opens in new tab)

I am on Summer time all time. Winter is the worst for me since it means I get up an hour 'earlier' on the clock. The dark makes me want to crash and an hour earlier for that too.

Also... 'standard' time means it's dark at 4:30pm where I live on the solstice (and I am not that far north) which kind of sucks, so it makes sense for me to champion for permanent daylight savings (which what the Governments for BC, WA, OR and CA all want anyways).

My favorite proposal is making days from winter to summer equinox 20 seconds longer and days from summer equinox to winter 20 seconds shorter with 5 days of regular 24 hour time split between the two (6 on leap years). It works out to an hour of daylight savings either way, but it's gradual instead of a sharp transition, and we already have the infrastructure for handling non-24 hour days in the form of leap seconds. For mechanical clocks you'd need to adjust them periodically but typical mechanical watch accuracy is +/- 10s per day to begin with so the change would be barely noticeable.

Of course it's a bit silly, but so is daylight savings in general.

It should be a basic human right to experience daylight every day after work, and it feels absolutely necessary for general mental well-being for me.

If after-work daylight means going to work in the dark for most, it is because the standard 8-10 hour work day is far too long.

And "standard" time in summer would just take away an hour of usable daylight for most people.

Don't care. Just PICK ONE.

It's not making sense for me.

Sleep when it's dark out. Younger generations are staying up late because of electronic addictions and we're trying to solve that in strange ways.
