I disagree with this. The summer time is much, much better for my mental health. I am stuck working all day and the time of day when I want to and can enjoy daylight is after 5pm. Hence, the summer hours are much better.

But is that really daylight saving time though, or the fact that we just have more hours of daylight in the summer?

I can't speak for your psyche (and you may well be a naturally early riser), but we know that having to wake up earlier decreases a lot of people's sleep overall, and that is also not good for mental health.
