Hmmm, daylight savings . .
. . nighttime savings - seems to be a matter of perspective.
Following that direction, what's the big deal with it in the first place? How much do you know about it?

Yeah, yeah, we mostly know it is followed at least partially by 70 countries around the world, and is said to be first thunk up by Ben Franklin. . . . We know we have to reset our clocks X1 Hour bi-annually in these certain areas to maintain relevance in 'time accuracy' with our surrounding humans.
Is DST worth thinking about?
What are the pros and cons of DST?
Why only these areas, and why an hour?
Just in the wiki linked above there is a great initial start. I particularly found interest in the first implementation, the US's history with it, and argument in pro's and con's. Here's additional info, some more neutral than others, and likely just a nick in the surface.

I feel little risk in spoiling your perspective, or potential objectivity or participation by stating that I cannot help but find DST quite arbitrary, and basically ridiculous. What about nature I ask? Why do I have to 'save daylight' at the cost of my experience of natural time's annular smooth flow?
I wonder if other's here agree or disagree, or have given the idea much more thought than just in passing.
