Do you have a study for this? Or just your own opinion and feelings?

While also anecdotal, the responses here seem to favor evenings as opposed to mornings.

Most people begin work at 8AM. I know that probably isn't the norm on this Website of younger skewing skewing people that can make their won hours (that includes me!) but it's true for most the country. Also people with kids - you need to get them ready and off before you go to work. Sunlight is really useful for this.

Computer people probably skew heavily towards night owls and young people. They also probably go outside a lot less than average so I don't really care what their preference is. This is basically an argument of everybody wanting their preferred schedule to line up with maximum sun.

Cool, then show a study which shows what everyone's preference is, or stop antagonizing people-- whose opinions you yourself said you don't care about-- for having an opinion which differs from yours.

Preferably both, but the study which shows you are in the majority would be a great start.

Americans are one of the early riser nations, waking up before 7: https://www.vox.com/2016/5/10/11639214/how-people-around-the...

There's your study. Having sunlight when people wake up is good. And if people pass stupid laws that make my life harder for it, I will bitch about it and antagonize them until they change them. Just like pretty much everybody else on this comment page.

I asked for a study which shows people would prefer more daylight in the mornings rather than evenings. Not everyone who gets to work early prefers daylight in the mornings. Some would like later evenings but also happen to get to work early, my mom being an example of it.

Once again, your opinion is just that, your opinion. It doesn't mean everyone else shares it.

Most people arrive at work between 7:45AM and 8:00AM. Which means they are up at 6-6:30 probably. Having some Sun during this time is nice for most people.

> Having some Sun during this time is nice for most people.

Is there a study that actually proves this? That people prefer daylight in the mornings when they're an early riser? I don't think they're as correlated as you and the other person are making it seem to be.

I think it’s the difference between high energy and low every people. Hugh energy people want to start the day actively and early. Low every and low-t people are looking for comfort and relaxation later in the day.
