Call me entitled, but Why not just get up with the sun and go to bed with the sun. If the time of year makes "8" on a ticking device too early, maybe wake up a 8:22? Core hours make sense for businesses, but at the fringes we should just let it float.


This is what I used to do. It was glorious.

Unfortunately with a partner, and being a light sleeper, it's simply not possible anymore. My bedtime is up to me, but my wake up time now has a hard ceiling.


Because we are a society and most of the good comes from working together with some cohesion in all parts.

That's not to say as a good hacker you can't just live on the fringes and both reap the rewards of society and be individualistic when you want.

But it's hard, when I tried to go on daylight savings when it wasn't locally implemented I couldn't pull it off, hit to many roadblocks.

Where I live that would give me about 2 hours of sleep in Summer.
