Just about everyone I know despises DST. There is some disagreement about what would become "standard time", but almost everyone wants it to end. The worst part of DST is the assumption that you can just reschedule a kid's body clock. A baby gets really upset with the time change, and older kids aren't that much better.

You may know them all then.

Over a longish life intersecting about every class there is, I found ~0 people expressing a preference for Standard time. The preference for DST has been fairly universal.

I have not lived at high latitudes however. Some comments here indicate opinions there may reasonably differ.

I would prefer doing away with DST.

Probably the vast majority of people with sleep disorders would do better with it as well.

I'm not convinced that we're universally a sunrise-to-sunset species, just some of us are.
