You are literally doing that with the archaic “get up earlier” mentality. 99% of people will be awake at 5-6pm to take advantage of an extra hour of light.

Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn't magically give people an extra hour. That's all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I'm concerned.

Disclaimer: I'm a night owl; I could care less for waking up early.

Making the time wrong makes people get up later, tho.

I didn't mind getting up at 6-7am in Indonesia, I HATE getting up before 9am in the Netherlands. But then, the Netherlands is 2 hours off its natural time zone...
