natural cycles

Lying about the time, where we are in the progression of the day, is a bad idea. It's weird enough that we standardize time for regions, but changing the clocks to an hour later than it feels is dangerously disorienting, even if you've "adapted." The days were going to get longer in summer anyway. We'd all be better off enjoying and adjusting to the gradually changing daylight, shifting to summer schedule if that's helpful. Denial of reality is at the heart of all that is wrong with modern society. Giving in to nature is the best we can do.
