For those in the states, is this something a change with daylight savings can fix? I’m in the dark on that (pun!) and wondering if a change could help?

    I mean, yeah, but I don't like using "fixed" here. Going to permanent regular time would mean the sun wouldn't rise an hour later during the DST months. DST ends on Halloween this year so we'd have an earlier sunrise right now.

    But it doesn't change anything else. Winter is standard time already so it's not going to change anything about the sunrise or sunset in December. It's also not adding any sunlight, just shifting the times.

    Soooo (Jesus it’s hard to get a response) HOW DO YOU THINK CHANGING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS COULD SOLVE IT?

    Jesus I dare you, talk about it….

    Daylight savings time is why we are an hour ahead right now. If it didn't exist we'd already have an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon. Not that it will even help much because by the time it ends we'll be down to like 10 hours of sunlight in a day anyway. Most of which will be spent at work.
