95% of the population is in the south east.
In summer, the sun is up at 4:30 AM, which means the birds go off nuts at 4 AM. Sunset is at 6:30 PM.
On a side note, listen to this little as@#$%^%^*, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5SIs08k8uk and imagine him screaming out your windows at 4 AM.
Growing up in Europe, I remember the winters to be dark and miserable, but in the summer we had sun till 9:30 PM.
There are many true and false arguments PRO and AGAINST DST.
The worst I've heard is "it will upset the cows with feed times" and "it will fade more curtains".
The best argument I've heard against DST is that it would put the kids coming home from school outside a sun-hour earlier, meaning there is more UV and it is warmer. That's a valid case against, seeing it's so bloody hot here in summer.
Another case, PRO DST study concluded that the lack of DST causes people to drive home in peak hour with the sun in their eyes, causing more accidents.
At this point, I think DST is still a good thing. It's good for the economy. We don't go out to have dinner in the dark, for example. But I'm getting too old to care.
This article's arguments are very thin in my books.
