> Sounds like you would like to run on daylight savings time year-round (as would I).

Most Europeans (and probably americans?) would definitely benefit from shifting their timezones by 1h and keeping it there. Hell, Central European Time could probably shift by 2h, the timezone goes from Spain to Poland, Warsaw currently gets sundown at 1530! (Lille which is roughly the same latitude gets sundown at a more respectable 1647)




The fun is, that in Warsaw the delta between CET and solar time is much less, than in Lille.

(Yes, dailymail, but at least they have a nice maps).

Which is exactly the issue. We don't actually want solar noon at noon because nobody sleeps from say 8PM to 4PM, or 9PM to 3AM.
