> But I'm also really not a morning person.

I think this is really the crux of it, it's just a matter of personal preference and there's no one right answer. When I was younger I used to wake up later and I thought permanent DST was a no-brainer for the extra hour of light in the evenings. Now in my 30's for whatever reason my body clock has shifted a lot and I pretty much always wake up by 6:30 am. The last few weeks with the sun not rising until 7:30 in northern CA have been kind of depressing and I can't wait for DST to end, I'd now rather have that extra hour of light in the morning than the evening.

There's also the problem of lumping together cities at different latitudes. The summer time is aligned ideally with one region, at the cost of other regions following suit and having to wake up at night.

Ideally, each region would have their summer time adapted to their latitude, but that would be more chaotic than simply scrapping it.

Being a morning person or a night person isn’t only a personal preference; it’s also genetic.

I’ve learned a huge amount of sleep lately and every cell in our bodies is regulated by our circadian rhythms.
