I'd rather it be dark when I wake up and light when I am done working, but to each their own.


I'm pretty sure sleep is significantly affected by not having sunlight when you wake up, and that's true for everyone, not a personal choice.


No, it's not each to their own because this is a society decision. Having dark for the first few hours of my day is crap for my mental health.


To each their own means that people can have differing opinions - not that they can each get their own way. This is indeed a 'society decision' - it's moving through the democratic process...

You can't have both sides. Either it's a personal problem for everyone, in which case you are free to complain about your specific issues with it, or it's a societal problem and therefore your specific mental health issues are irrelevant.


In theory, this adds at most 1 hour of darkness to your day, regardless of when you wake up.


Is there a law that mandates you wake up at the same time every day?
