NO! Agree that the transition is hard, but Standard time is much better.

Wakening before the sun is not only biologically counterproductive, but the late morning dark would further hinder ability to exercise in the morning for months out of the year.

Just Kill DST, stay on standard time and be done with it

Whether standard or DST makes more sense really depends on geography.

That's why we have timezones?

I think they mean Maine vs Florida not east/west. You may need the daylight "later" in Maine than Florida.
