In the medium term wouldn't it likely not matter? Schedules will adjust to whatever permanent time system is adopted.

I doubt it. People seem to have a strong aversion to sleeping before sunset.

How would permanent DST matter in that regard? Are people going to bed at like 4 pm in the winter and now upset they'd have to wait until 5? DST is already used in the summer (and 3/4 of the year).

[macintux]

You're right, I should have referred to sunrise instead. For me, permanent DST would mean the sun doesn't come up until 9am in late December.

It's about summer. And yes, some people hate it that there is still light out at 9:30pm.

[PunchyHamster]

It does depending what you do. For example, I'd rather have more sunlight available after my work day ends.

But someone say working physical, outdoor job might prefer to have more sunlight early on.

Or vice versa, have less of their work day in the afternoon heat peak
