Daylight in the morning does wonders for resetting your circadian rhythm to the actual day, rather than its internal 25-something hour day.

What would naturally happen by making daylight savings time permanent is that people's circadian rhythms would shift forward until daylight savings time basically becomes the same thing as standard time.

It would be really interesting to study this - in Europe the same time-zone covers between approximately 30m behind true time (e.g. in eastern Poland) and 1h 30m ahead (in Galicia) - do Galicians typically get up later than Poles?

China has it even more so - a single time-zone covering what should be five - are people in Fuyuan waking up at 03:00 when the sun rises in summer, whilst people in Zanda sleep in till 07:30?
