There’s nothing I hate more than social convention that is never challenged. WHY do we do this? Why do we torture ourselves so twice a year. Ok, so everyone seems to prefer “fall back” because you gain an hour of sleep. But if you have kids, they don’t exactly get the memo. So you’re likely to lose out here too. (Like I did). I lived in Arizona for two years and this is the one state in the continental US that doesn’t observe Daylight Savings. I loved that. There seems to be no good reason we still do this. And in fact, there are lots of reasons why we shouldn’t.
The map above depicts what our daylight would look like if we kept the winter time hours (this must be put into context against the CURRENT system we use by reading the full length article below). We’d have much more daylight after 5pm for more of the year. This would be good for mood, for the economy, for activity, even crime.
