 I love Daylight Savings (what we call it in Australia). I hate when it comes off and then it’s dark when I get home from work. Seems your whole day is gone. With Summer Time on, you get home and still have 2-3 hours of daylight to live a little. 
 You do realize the rotation of the Earth does not depend on how you set your clock, right? You could just start and leave work an hour earlier 
 Yes but you have to fit in with what society accepts as the time. You can’t always get to the office an hour earlier and leave an hour before everyone else does. That wouldn’t fly.
