We're already on DST for 8 months out of the year. I don't hear anyone complaining about it. Why would we switch to ST? Most people are not up at 4:30am, but are up well past 7:30pm.

Standard time means the sun is directly above you at noon (or, roughly close to it). DST is the "switch". Until 2007, DST was 4 weeks shorter.

Personally I'm actually OK with the time change. Once you get to a certain point in summer, yeah, 4:30 sunrise doesn't really make sense. But it should happen in April and October, not March and November. This 6:30 sunrise is killing me, we were just making progress when the DST switch hit.
