Someone else posted that it was just the opposite, that it was made permanent?
Anyway, a period of darkness (nighttime) is intrinsically important to the health and sleep patterns of humans. We need that 'winding down' time for our bodies - with at least a few hours of darkness before we go to bed. When it's still light at 9:00 pm, we don't get that. It's also difficult for children to go to bed when it's light out and will be light for at least another hour to hour and a half.
It also means that we're getting up in the dark again, in the morning.
On the "Plus" side, if you're a politician who doesn't care what your constituency wants, it means a lot more shopping and spending of money, which means more sales tax. The end.

When I was a kid, walking to the bus stop in the dark during winter was normal.
As an adult, if my choice is driving to work with day light or having another hour to enjoy at the end of my day I will take option 2.
I get its not ideal situation for everyone but I would bet most people HATE switching their clocks twice a year and would prefer more daylight in the afternoon.
I agree. I's better to drive in the morning dark when you're fully rested than driving in the evening dark after a long day's work.
