OK, I have a simple question about this. If we move the clocks ahead one hour permanently, won't people eventually adjust by changing their schedules back one hour? If suddenly we move the clocks ahead, people who are used to setting their alarm clocks at 7 will continue to do so. But eventually, young people may start getting up at 8 instead of 7. And then, companies will start to begin work at 10 instead of 9. And then you have people waking up at the same time as before the change.
If we really want to go back to a more natural pattern, how about shutting off the electricity grid at 9 o'clock every night?
