That's what they do in Russia. A great idea! I hate it coming home from work when it is too dark for jogging (except in the streets) ...

Agree, but it also gets light too darn late. | [reply] |
I can just about remember when I was a child, there was an experimant here in the UK of using Summer Time all thorough the year and it was very hard to get up for school in what felt like the middle of the night.
Apparently the statistics from that period do should an overall reduction in traffic accident deaths but this is probably more due to the fact that drink-driving laws were introduced at about the same time.

I thought folks were getting up in the dark as it is, so I checked, and sunrise was at 7:30am today. Most people who start at 9:00 probably do get a hint of light when they get up, or see light shortly thereafter. This is a good counter argument.
One of the things that influences my opinion is that my time zone is incredibly large. When I went on a trip last month (6 weeks from the shortest day), the sun was setting at 3:30pm! (And I was still a 12 hour drive from the Eastern-most tip of the time zone!)

Of course, there's nothing to stop you from going to work an hour earlier... (At least, usually. Most computer jobs are at least somewhat flexible on exact hours.)
