Reply to comment by BroForceOne in Daylight Saving row leaves Lebanon on brink of two timezones by chiliaan

The benefit of daylight savings time (shifting the clock forward an hour during summer) is that work/school start closer to the earlier sunrise you get in summer, which also means you get more daylight from the time work/school ends until sunset to do outdoor activities.

Or you could, you know, just start things at a different time

Work and school can start whenever we want them to start. That's not a problem that requires changing the clock.

Having the clock shift is a lot easier than letting every school / work place decide when they want to start

Or we could just shift school/work start times to permanently be later since most humans don’t function well as early as society demands us to because some rich old white guys hundreds of years ago decided we have to be up as early as possible for “reasons.”
