Daylight saving time is coming to an end,
and that means many of us will get that extra hour of sleep as we take
the clock at 2 a.m. in the morning and flip it back to 1 a.m. instead.
So, yeah, granted, we get an extra hour of sleep,
but this is a debate, right?
Why do we keep changing the clocks?
Well, it gives us some more time in the morning to see more daylight.
For example, the earlier sunrise comes up at 627,
whereas the sunset comes in.
A bit earlier at 4:52, but granted, as we get closer toward
the winter solstice, we're losing about two minutes
of daylight each day as we get closer and closer to December 21st.
So what if we just don't fall back, right?
If we don't, the problem does come in in December
because that means that the sun won't rise until 8:20 in the morning.
That gives the morning time.
A lot more darkness than you'd probably expect,
even though the sun does set at around 5:30 in the evening.
But what about the opposite effect?
What if we just don't spring ahead?
So what if we fall back and stay back going into the springtime?
Well, the problem comes in in June.
Look at this, 4:30 a.m. sunrise and then the sunset at 7:30.
We kind of lose the longer day, but we do get
a really bright morning way earlier than what you'd expect.
So which one would you prefer?
