No Daylight Saved
The local time or the clock has moved (hello, BST, go away already, you're diverging from UTC) and nothing "broke", we just all "lost" an hour of sleep. I had an afternoon nap to catch up or to compensate for it.
What was really gained, saved, or lost? For people like me who go to sleep when it's dark and wake up when it's still dark this whole "DST" charade means nothing except confusion, extra chores (changing 5 clocks today; they're analogue), charging some batteries, and praying nothing digital will break due to an hour simply "skipped". Risk, confusion, extra tasks, and maybe mistakes (many people forget to do this on Sunday as no colleague reminds them to). Set aside lack calibration across countries and risk of disorientation.
Is there still any practical reason for this ritual? No, not really.
So why don't we get rid of it? █
