Re: Lithuania wants to abolish DST

[Michael Ossipoff]

Yes, I too have read that the annual change from Standard Time to
Daylight-Saving Time is a disruption that people aren't able to adjust to,
not even by the end of summer.

But should it be left at Standard Time, or at DST?

Leave it on Daylight-Savings Time all year, with no time-change. In other
words, leave it on advanced-time all year.

In most locations, people are up after dark, and rise after sunrise.
There's no need for that, We've used our artificial lighting to move away
from nature's time, the Sun's time.

Changing to all-year advanced-time would be the best way to quickly remedy
that mistake.

Some people express the concern about children, in midwinter, going to
school in the dark,. But being out in evening dark is more dangerous than
being out in morning-dark.  Evening dark is more dangerous than morning
dark. In the morning there's less traffic, and therefore less risk of
getting hit by a car. In the morning dark, there are a lot fewer dangerous
people out, as compared to evening dark.

I suggest that every consideration points to leaving clocks on
advanced-time all year.
