Why? I would say a large number of computer people owls, meaning they get up late and go to bed late. Permanent DST means you have to get up one hour earlier forever. Seems absolutely terrible to me.

It's also stupid from an astronomical point of view.

I've thought about this, being a night owl myself. I vastly prefer daylight saving time, but doesn't that mean I'm just getting up an hour earlier? Which I should hate, because I hate getting up early.

It's made me realize that my being a night owl is less about the actual time and more about how I'm spending it in relation to the rest of society. There's just something about being awake when others aren't that's preferable.
