I find it much more dispiriting to come home in the dark, than to get up in the dark. So yeah I like “daylight savings time” more in practice. People arguing noon is sun at highest point aren’t arguing that 6 is sunrise and 6 is sunset, we don’t use sundials anymore.
I’d be good with a world time. Just decide when a day starts worldwide and let local schedules be whatever works. So maybe the sun rises at 0100 in my longitude and so work starts at 4 or whatever. There’s no magic to the 12 being noon.
I used to think this too, but using a global time means the date also ticks over to the next day at odd moments during the day. So in the end it feels like timezones with extra confusion.
