Strong disagree, under DST I get to experience some sunlight in then evenings. Under Standard time I get to watch the sun come up through the window and set through the window.

I don't know what you mean by evening, but it's already dark at 16:00 during winter. You only get some light in the morning. DST means no more light in the morning and no more light in the evening. Complete depression. DST should not exist.

Standard Time during that period is what's depressing.

yeah it's literally ass-backwards. how can anyone support DST as it stands is beyond me

With standard time you get some light in the morning. With DST you get no light at all. Also there's nothing worse than waking up in the darkness.

Sure there is... Coming home from work in the darkness is way worse than waking up in it.

As I explained in my other comment, there's no situation where you're getting any daylight in the evening with DST, that's just not possible.

Also daylight in the morning sets your day on a high note. The morning you're spending in the darkness is what turns your life into a winter long depression. Coming home in darkness is inevitable and has a lower impact on your mental health. And with DST effectively removing BOTH morning and evening daylight, you'll be completely fucked.

I disagree.

Also, sunrise and sunset times vary depending on one's location.

Daylight in the morning only serves to remind me (and people like me) that it's being wasted and won't be available when I have free time.

You're not getting any daylight with DST in the winter no matter where you are.
