    because I’m up in the dark, working inside during the sunlight hours, and knock off just in time for the sun to disappear and take the dog for a run on a sport field under flood lights.

    That’s the current pattern with changing the time back for the winter to try to get people more light. Daylight at the (eg) NYC latitude at the solstice is about 7 to 4:30, so most people get up with or before the sun, then leave work after it sets. Unless you’re proposing we shift back 2 hours, permanent summer clocks would only change that people would see the sun as they leave work rather than when they go to it.

    Either way people with seasonal affective disorder still wouldn’t get enough sun.
