That's what I always say, but sometimes, you have to show some sympathy for the little people.

Why?

if i understand you correctly, i think you make the mistake that the number of hours of sunlight is constant throughout the year. this isnt true as shown by mjrpes in the first page of the thread.[xeno]Julios wrote:ok i always get REALLY confused when i try to think about DST - my brain has difficulty with these sorts of things (same thing with maps, directions, etc)
ok so my understanding of the rationale is that DST is done to save energy.
so let's say sunset is normally 5pm and work ends at 5pm. This means that you won't need artificial lighting to function at work coz the sun goes down right when work ends.
Now summer comes along, and sunset is at 6pm. But work still ends at 5pm. You now have an extra hour of sunlight to spare.
So why move the clocks foward??
I know it sounds intuitive that if u move the clocks forward, you'll match, coz 5pm+1hour = 6pm and sunset is at 6pm, but it actually seems the opposite!
Before DST adjustment, sunset is at 6pm and work ends at 5pm.
After DST adjustment, work still ends at 5pm (u dont' change work schedules, just the clocks), and sunset is now at 7pm!!
So now you have TWO extra hours of daylight.
Wouldn't it make sense to move the clocks backwards during summer??
That way, work ends at 5pm and sunset is at 5pm and all is matched.

sokay tho - talked to my housemate and she pointed out that it's sunRISE that counts here as well. I was only taking into account sunSET.Now summer comes along, and sunset is at 6pm. But work still ends at 5pm. You now have an extra hour of sunlight to spare.
Still, DST is ridiculous - read the criticisms on the wiki page.
