I simply gave you an example of why lots of people like DST, as a counter to your "hivemind" claim. Perhaps my example was too extreme, so consider southern Europe - June sunrise at around 04:30 and sunset at 19:50 without DST. I bet plenty of Italians rather have the sun set at 20:50 since very few get up before 05:30 anyway.

It seems that you also made a bad choice of where to live, since apparently it's a place on the other side of the earth where Europe has the power to imposed DST.

I do feel sorry for you, that you are so sensitive to these timezone changes, especially since it limits your holiday travels to mostly going north/south. Do be careful if venturing too far in either of those direction, as the sudden change in hours of daylight might also affect you negatively.
