I dont really think this is a good idea. It boils down to when do you want the sun to be up? 4 in the morgning to 21 in the night, or 5 in the morning and 22 in the night? Since the majority of the people like to be up later at night than waking up early, it is better for everyone to turn the clock one hour. Its better for people. Its wellfare.

The clock is turning an hour automaticly any way. Its not a big deal for the clocks, but it is a big deal for the poeple seeing less day light.

Well, I still think DTS is a good thing.
Whether is better or not is debatable. Indeed, there are studies that show daylight saving has negative effects on human health. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time#Health
Thanks. A nice read.

A pleuthora of pros and cons. No quantitative messure of what is best though.
