Anti DST for me. To the point that I'd rather just keep jumping back and forth rather than go permanent DST. Waking up and living your first hour in darkness ain't healthy.

Surely schedules would adjust, right? In northern latitudes I commonly see different summer hours for shops for instance, it's about time middle latitudes adopt this simple strategy instead of abrupt time changes.

Adjusting schedules is exactly what switching clocks around does. For example, you can't adjust school schedules and keep kids from walking to school in the dark without also changing work and daycare schedules, which means coffee shops have to change schedule, etc.

Switching clocks changes the schedule only by one hour, in a one-size-fits-all fashion. Even at 30deg north, summer and winter sunrises are multiple hours apart. This is why summer and winter schedules for businesses are multiple hours apart in far northern areas. Somehow enough coordination is managed organically.
