Niš Serbia; 43.3209° N, 21.8958° E: Rise 04:52, Set 20:12

A whole 2 hours difference!
People get surprised that in Spain the lunch hour is around 13:30 instead of 12:00. But when you take into account the sunrise/sunset times it corrects part of the difference.
Maybe a fix: reduce working hours (school time, etc.). That will save lives and facilitate a more healthy population.
We have the data. We know the causes of why people are dying. News makes us more worried about terrorist attacks, that kill really very few people and have no impact beyond the publicity that news provides than the real risks to our health.

We don't need to do everything perfectly. We do not need to panic. But, we can improve a lot how we deal with risks to our health.
On topic, we would really like to have later sunrises and later sunsets. This is with DST. During winter when it is much colder it gets dark around 16:00, and subsequently colder. I personally believe we are one time zone behind and should probably align with Bulgaria and Greece, but the industry is Western oriented and it would just cause mismatch with Central and Western Europe and even greater difference with US. Maybe even more important with ex-SFRY republics between which communication and travel is very lively.
