case study:
i go to the pub on sunday nights for a game of scrabble, and the quiz.
i’m in bed for 11:30ish.
i need about 8 hours sleep,
so i get up at 7:30ish to go to work.
i get home at 5ish and it’s dark.
all this adaptation and staggering and flexibility and etc. that you suggest sounds very complicated, how about we just shift the clocks by an hour?
that way i can go to the pub for a game of scrabble and the quiz, i can get my 8 hours sleep, i can go to work, get home, and have enough light to go out and play with my chums.
and this idea even requires less effort than the current system, all we have to do is not fiddle with the clocks next autumn.
easy.
got to be worth a go at least?
