Another, more gradual and incremental approach: During the winter, move the clocks forward by 3 minutes a day. (We can make that 21 minutes one day each week, if that’s more convenient.) At the summer solstice, reverse this and set the clocks back 3 minutes a day (or 21 minutes each week). Or how about Congress passing a law giving us 25 hours each day, with the stipulation that the additional hour must be a daylight hour. I could get behind that. > [@kenobi\_65](#): > > I suspect that at least some people who are in favor of year-round DST are thinking mostly about the later daylight in the evenings in the winter months, and haven’t really internalized **just how dark mornings would be, at least in the northern half of the country.** This suggests another thing that should be obvious: We should have time zones by latitude rather than longitude. Thus, a Southern time zone, a Mid-Latitude time zone, and a Northern time zone. Or however many times zones it takes to divide up the United States (and indeed all of North America) to get the optimal day/night divisions. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/daylight-saving-time-again-lets-go-to-back-to-gods-time/937707)._
