Resetting the clock back to PST
That time of the year is back upon us when we try to get an extra hour of sleep.
I have always felt that there is no need to switch back to the standard time. Yes, I do get the concept of switching to DST (daylight savings time) in spring and I think it is a great idea. My problem is with switching back in autumn.
I think we get plenty of sunlight in summer and it stays bright till quite late anyways. It is the fall and the winter seasons when we need the light to stay longer. I personally don’t mind leaving for work while it is still dark, but I would love an extra hour of brightness in the afternoon.
So, in my opinion, we should use the DST as standard time and move the clocks even further ahead in fall. I don’t think technically it makes any difference to any body. It might be a wee bit confusing in the beginning but I think we will all benefit from it. Countries who are parallel to Canada in terms of latitude have such short days that it gets depressing.
So, what do you say? Should we;
A. Atleast stop switching back to PST
B. Switch the clocks ahead in autumn instead of switching back
C. Stick to the system that we are following right now and suffer what seems like, an eternal darkness we sink into between November and January.
I vote B. Let us find a way that sun sets after atleast 6 pm in autumn and winter seasons.
