I completely agree with this point. But using the conventions of "business hours" to drag people out of bed earlier allows them to get off work earlier and utilize the daylight they already have more fully. But it is without a doubt a psychological shell game.

There is no amount of daylight I can utilize as I’m not a farmer. Where the sun is has almost no bearing on my life but forcing me to suddenly wake up an hour earlier certainly does

Sounds like somebody needs a soma holiday

The main problem is that the old 9 to 5 business hours puts three hours before noon and five after, which is why DST moves time later in the day.

Just change 'business hours to' 8 to 4 and call it a day. or 7:30 to 4:30 if it needs to be 8 hours plus lunch.

Logic and sense? Get out of here! Obviously what we need to do is make daylight saving time permanent year round!

/s, if that wasn’t obvious

Every time I get in an argument with someone who wants year round daylight savings time, they think it happens in the winter.
