Save Standard TimeDaylight Saving Time is a daily mandate to set your alarm an hour early. Standard Time aligns clocks to the sun for balanced light and better sleep. #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

This, actually, is bullshit. If your clock is "aligned to the sun" you sleep through additional hour of daylight in the summer (unless you're one of the unfortunate people who have to get up at 5am to get to work), but in winter it's already dark when you come home from work. This is because most people have working hours from 8 or 9 am to 4 or 5pm, so the noon (ie 12 o'clock) comes close to… exactly, not to the middle of their "day" defined as "from waking up to falling sleep", but to the middle of their working shift. There's nothing fair to the fact that the employers wanted to save on lighting costs and forced employees to work through the daylight period, so that during winter the free time falls almost completely after dark.

RossS@SaveStandard of course, Edmonton would have peak sunrise at 0405h in the summer, but a mostly normal peak sunset at 2105h, at least.
Paul Turnbull has moved.🇨🇦@satchmo35 @SaveStandard In that time period it’s worth noting that because the sun sets soooooo slowly we have civil twilight for an hour after that and no real night at all as we pass through nautical and astronomical twilight and back again by dawn. You can actually watch the sun track along the norther horizon. Making people get up an hour earlier so they can have more daylight after work is kind of pointless with that much daylight.
@Chigaze @SaveStandard oh, yea...I am well aware...tend to (try) to watch the stars and such...much tougher this far north, not to mention being downtown! Just kinda depends whether one is a morning or night person...lol
