Reply to comment by snozzcumbersoup in Greenland turns clocks forward for last,should Massachusetts/eastern US do the same by Hoosac_Love

Sunrise being so late in the morning is more depressing than sunset being early. Sunrise would be after 8am in December. They'd have to adjust school times as well for safety.

Whatever we do is going to be a compromise. Depressing morning or depressing afternoon. But between the two, I would choose the compromise which requires not changing our entire lives twice a year.

Schools can adjust times if they feel they need to. Big deal. And I say that as someone with kids. I'd rather keep my kids on the same sleep schedule, and simpy go to school a half hour later or whatever makes sense for when sunrise is in my particular location than change the damn clocks twice a year. The adjustment is a bitch every time and it takes about a week to normalize.
