Seriously, what is the reason that DST has been kept this long other than inertia? Nobody likes it and in the days of cheap lighting it doesn't save electricity either.
The reason is the DS wanted to keep screwing with you twice a year. Lots of accidents occur around the beginning of each time change.
And heart attacks
Then why not change it more than twice a year if that's the arbitrary reason?
It kinda sucks for the trades who work outside. In the summer I may be starting at 5 am instead of 6. Boy will the kids love me. But its better than starting when the heat of the day is already getting stoked. 6 am to 8 am right now is the only time the heat is bearable.
Im up at 4 am every day anyway and in bed by 8 and asleep by 9. Will be nice that its getting dark before bed instead of full daylight. Be cool to have a 12 hour day end at 5 instead of 7 too.
That hour forward is horrible, I really don't recover from it until it changes back
I'm with you. Although, I, unlike 99% of contractors, go in late and stay late. The evenings cool down, so I hit most of the heat and enjoy the cooler temperatures regardless. Problem with the very long daylight hours is I tend to work too many hours. I love to build, and without darkness stopping me, I tend to press on. Down in Texas it's always crazy hot. I have made my peace with it.
Yea I can see a 5 am start time turning into 14 hour days lol. Im in Michigan, we get breaks where itll drop into the upper 70s with low humidity for a couple days. Even 60s once every couple years. I dont know how you guys in the south and southwest deal with 9 mos of sun and heat.
For my work it means sitting around waiting for the sun then I would end up working late to get everything done. I hate that. Makes you drag all day plus the day is literally longer and if you actually bill for all your productive time then they have kittens
