    That probably would work well for those closer to the equator.

    But for those in the 100 minutes zone of this map that would mean going to work at 6:30am in the summer (assuming we are using civil twilight as “sunrise”), and 9:30AM in the winter which is much more of a swing than daylight savings puts on us, but at least it is a gradual one.

    For those above the Arctic Circle, they just work 24/7 for a couple of weeks in the summer but get a similar time off in the winter ;)

      I don’t really see that 3 hour gradual swing as much of a problem. Evolution set sunrise as our “start” by default. Shifting to a more rigid structure leads to a lot of issues involving sleep and depression, so we really should abandon it.
