Get up one hour earlier, and voila, one extra hour of daylight. No need to impose the clock change to everybody.

You are literally doing that with the archaic “get up earlier” mentality. 99% of people will be awake at 5-6pm to take advantage of an extra hour of light.

Making the time wrong makes people get up later, tho.

I didn't mind getting up at 6-7am in Indonesia, I HATE getting up before 9am in the Netherlands. But then, the Netherlands is 2 hours off its natural time zone...

Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn't magically give people an extra hour. That's all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I'm concerned.

Disclaimer: I'm a night owl; I could care less for waking up early.

That's nice for people who don't need to be out of bed until 6ish in the morning. See how much you might enjoy it when you need to be up a 4:30am every day. The last damn thing I need is the sun being up until 10pm and a bunch of clowns whoopin' and hollerin' until 11pm because DST.
