Studies have shown that later sunsets lead to worse health and economic outcomes. People who live on the western edge of a timezone earn 3% less and have higher rates of lifestyle diseases than those on the eastern edge, because they go to bed later but wake at the same socially-prescribed time, and therefore get less sleep.

So why make DST instead of eliminating it entirely? It seems earlier sunset would be much more beneficial for society.
