It’s always this argument with people, all totaled up against people’s overall health - as pretty much every sleep scientist agrees, kids actually being able to get to school because it’s not too cold (not to mention safety as far as light goes), and making night owl’s lives hell.

But yeah, you definitely need to drive home in the light instead of the dark for those two months out of the year or whatever. Definitely worth it.



I'm a night owl and daylight time does not make my life hell, kids don't walk to school in the US anymore, and yes, experiencing the daylight for 2 more months of the year is worth it.


Ok, well, I'm a night owl and it makes things significantly harder for me, and pretty much every single teenager in the US to boot. Kids don't walk to school, but they do wait for school buses. Late starts are already common in northern states due to cold, and some kids do in fact still walk to school in the morning, and that's way more dangerous in the dark.
