We live in an age now where everyone could potentially sync up with “sunrise” as a floating value.

Your alarm clock will wake you up at sunrise +0.5h (if the sun doesn’t).

Work starts at sunrise +2h.

Daylight savings time no longer exists.

Everything is good.

Take out the “work starts at sunrise +2h” for everything to be good. Work is overrated.

I mean, sure, in a perfect world I would work at my own convenience, but baby steps I suppose.

That probably would work well for those closer to the equator.

But for those in the 100 minutes zone of this map that would mean going to work at 6:30am in the summer (assuming we are using civil twilight as “sunrise”), and 9:30AM in the winter which is much more of a swing than daylight savings puts on us, but at least it is a gradual one.

For those above the Arctic Circle, they just work 24/7 for a couple of weeks in the summer but get a similar time off in the winter ;)

I don’t really see that 3 hour gradual swing as much of a problem. Evolution set sunrise as our “start” by default. Shifting to a more rigid structure leads to a lot of issues involving sleep and depression, so we really should abandon it.
