I don't really care which we stick with, but we should pick one, summer time or winter time, and then stick with it. Or split the difference, I don't care. Let's all set the clocks a half-hour off and stay there forever. But the additional complication of changing all clocks and fucking with everyone's rhythms is frankly just cruel.

If YOU want more light in the "morning," YOU wake up at nine rather than eight. If YOU want more light in the evening, YOU go to bed at 9 rather than 10. This doesn't have to be an "all of us" thing.

Most people doesn't have a choice when to wake up, as they need to get to work.

Even though I hate that it gets dark sooner, I think we should stay in winter time because AFAIK morning light is important for our health.

This is what collective bargaining power is for.

If you really care that much about it, you're free to pick one rhythm and stick with it all year through. A work mate of mine did exactly this a few years ago. This doesn’t have to be an “all of us” thing.
