Daylight Saving Time possibly permanent 11/2023
Most fatal accidents occur the Monday after DST begins. You are correct. Most people have trouble adjusting
their body clock.

Right. The changing back & forth isn’t doing anyone any good. But if we are going to stick with one standard for keeping time in this country, it would be best to have some daylight in the evenings after work.
The natural seasonal change of having reduced sunlight between the fall & spring equinoxes will always make for less daylight hours anyway. No one can actually change that. All we are doing by getting everyone to reset their clocks is forcing them to start their regular activities each day 1hour earlier.
If we all just stayed doing what we are doing today (starting all our activities earlier than what we’ll be doing next week) then we wouldn’t need to readjust our body clock and we’d get the most out of each day even when the days of shorter sun exposure are upon us.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I can get done after work when we are on DST and there is additional sunlight to work with. Having that sunlight when I was on a bus going to school or now while I’m driving to work is a complete waste of daylight to me. I’m sure that other folks would agree.
Many businesses are happy when I’m spending my money after work because I have some daylight left to get things done.
