no, for the exact reasons you wrote, daylight saving make no sense.
With daylight savings the sun is not the highest at noon. And changing
time puts a lot of stress on the body.
But it means you spend more of your waking hours in daylight (unless
you're a postman or milkman), which has both health and environmental
benefits
not really. If I have to get up at 4am in the morning to reach my job at 7 the
difference at morning is negligible. And in the evening? Since I am home early,
no difference at all.
And environmental benefits? Are you kidding? There are no energy savings with
day light savings. More lights are used in the morning. More energy used for
heaters. If daylight saving would reduce energy usage, it would have been
banned decades ago.
Of course, the whole thing of the tagline came about because of the name,
you are not saving daylight at all. In the UK, it's called Summer Time,
probably because that means we can tell when it's summer by checking the
clock settings :)
It is called summertime in Germany too. I am living in more rural Germany -
and the cows are not very happy about it. Neither are the farmers.
Just picking the last post. This is what I hate about DST. My old VCR
was doing fine until they changed the schedule here. Since I can't
re-program my VCR with the new schedule, I had to disable DST thingy and
do it manually.
I would rather see this stupid thing gone. It doesn't make the grass
grow any greener plus it makes people have to run around and reset all
the clocks and crap, not just once a year but twice a year.
The only good thing, it helps some people remember to replace the
battery in the smoke detector. Of course, one could come up with a
better way of doing that too. Most of them beep for weeks when it gets
low, which is ironic since the beeping runs the battery down. o_O
