I find daylight saving useful. It means that instead of an extra hour of daylight from 5am-6am I get an extra hour of daylight between 8pm and 9pm.

Last summer I went to Queensland which doesn't having daylight saving. I woke up at 6am with bright sunlight coming though my window while it was dark by 7pm.

That is the point of daylight saving, move the extra hours of daylight to the evening when they are useful not "wasting" them first thing in the morning when most people can't take advantage of them.



Was there something in Queensland that prevented you from waking up earlier? If you wanted more time in the morning, why didn't you wake up at 5 o'clock?

I'm okay with people shifting their hours around, but why should I be forced to do the same?


I didn't want more time in the morning I wanted it in the evening. I was at something from 9-5 and then out in the evening with people.

The way society works is that things happen in the evenings, the number of things to do a 5-7am to take advantage of extra sunlight is a lot more limited.
