They always try to keep the summer time, and everyone is happy until winter, when people get so upset at waking before dawn they inevitably return to the daylight savings system
It does have to be permanent winter time, this has been studied and has clear results
My sleep has been amazing since the switch. Go to bed tired because it feels like I stayed up an extra hour, wake up an hour early because my biological clock thinks it’s time to get up and then get to chill and take my time getting ready in the morning. It’s nice. The spring one on the other hand…
The EU were well on the way to agreeing to stop this nonsense, then it got delayed, Brexit happened (so whether it would still have happened in the UK is anybody’s guess), and COVID hit. I don’t think it has been mentioned since.
the eu somehow unilaterally decided to do it and stop the time switching - that has been agreed on. and now the only thing that is left is for 27 countries to agree on which time to keep… 😂
which will never happen and i am glad for that. i like these long summer evenings where you can do stuff and that is what would probably be canceled.
doing it otherwise and keeping the summer time for all year would mean that the daylight in winter would start at 9am, contrary to today’s 8am, which would be terrible for out biorhytms (or so do biologists specializing in this area say)
Oh yes and add to that a fucked sleep pattern for at least a week.
I really hope this nonsense ends some day. I don’t even care if it’s summer or wintertime just stop switching.

I was so excited for that change to rock in. Fucking Brexit. :(
it has nothing to do with brexit.

The evening stays. Daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight
daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight, but it does change when the evening is, that is its whole purpose.
But it’s just an arbitrary number
yes. but arbitrary does not equal to meaningless. if all world operates around that arbitrary number, then it is very real.
