For people who switched to winter time last night, should we end this?

Seems like nonsense to me to change time every six months
Its rubbish and we should just stay in summertime. Yet another daylight hour stolen in the evening
What the hell, why not stay in standard time? I don't like having to get out of bed while it's still dark outside. It's already bad with everything being dark outside at 8am in winter, doesn't need to be made even worse.
When we would permanently go to summer time, I will do everything one hour later than now.
So do you mean instead of going to school/work at eg. 9:00 UTC you would go to work at 10:00 UTC+1? In other words, nothing would change except that in summer everything starts an hour later than it does now? That only works if your school system and company/customers allow this freedom. Oftentimes they don't.
If you mean something else, could you clarify? I'm curious regarding this topic.
Sorry for the late reply, I just read yours, this app is still a bit of a mystery to me. My work allows for flexible working hours, so there's no problem there. But in the wake of a decision to stay with Summer Time year round I would suppose that the starting times of businesses and schools would be up for debate. Especially for schools, as these already presently do not lign up with the sleep cycles of students, they only match those of the teachers. It's funny how introduction of Summer Time has convinced through being confusing. When the plan would have been to ask everyone to come in one hour earlier during summer, a lot of people would have protested. By setting the clock one hour later it has gotten authority and nobody was sure which way the hour difference was supposed to go. Later or earlier? People are still not sure after all these years.
I understand your point, but can you guarantee that schools and work for all the other people will also start one hour later? If just a single person does everything one hour later that's not gonna solve the issue and if everybody does it then you might as well stick to standard time.
