Speak for yourself, I'm a night owl and I find it much harder to wake up in the morning when it's dark outside. Permanent DST would only make this worse in the winter.

I'm the same way. If you haven't looked into it, you might want a "sunrise clock" of about 10,000lux if possible. This assumes you don't have a partner who would be bothered by it :-)
I had one, but it turned out not to be cat-proof.
Seems like you should be able to cat-proof it ;)
Get a timer for your lamp.
Speak for yourself, I’m also a night owl and I wake up when my alarm wakes me up. Then I read on my phone which shines enough glow on me that I can’t get back to sleep. </sarcasm>

don’t care about it one way or other.

Glad that junior devs in the future will have less time related bugs in their code.

I'm a night owl as well but I don't care if it's light or dark out when I get up but driving home in darkness and waking up in darkness is depressing as hell. I like a little sunlight after work to do things, mow the lawn, do some errands, take a walk, etc.
Nah, waking up in darkness is cool.

It's like the day isn't ready to get up yet, just like me.

And driving in darkness is cool. I like all the pretty lights.
