I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

Nah, it’s about outside time. Not being in my garden, on my porch, or just outside in general because it’s dark at 5pm is depressing.

    Then get up an hour earlier. I personally can't relate to feeling depressed because it's dark out, like a bird having a blanket put over its cage, but I do enjoy the longer, cooler evenings with less UV.

    No. Mornings feel like being on the wrong side of the sun.

    I'd love an alarm clock that only wakes you once the sun has crossed the meridian, like how navies used to only change the calendar day once they'd turned the glass and struck the bell at high noon.
