Does anyone else hate winter time ? (sh.itjust.works)

Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

I like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don't want it to get dark even earlier, it's all backwards.

I'm aware of all the dissatisfaction with DST, but hear me out... What if we just weren't going hard enough? I propose Runners Savings Time. We set the clock forward like, 4-5 hrs. It'll be dark during working hours, but then you'll have some time to go for a run or do whatever during the daylight.

But you know that DST is summer time? In winter, we have „normal“ time, as in the sun is at it's highest at 12 o'clock.

Huh, I completely forgot about that, we should keep it for the entire year then.
