soon to put the clocks back an hour at the end of the coming week.
We just sprung ahead a couple weeks ago. I hear that here in BC we are going to stick with daylight saving time and are not going to be switching back and forth anymore. I welcome that news.
Seems to me that permanent DST is going to make waking up in the winter brutal with darkness at least until 8a.
Even "experts" agree that was a bad choice.

That 7am darkness is a real thing. Even so, I don't want to manipulate the clocks.

Did they give a reason why this is a bad choice?
Sunlight in the morning is better for overall mental health.
The Sun staying out later has no such affect.

Here is a good video from a sleep researcher who has, in
past, also been featured on PBS:

I don't know about BC but the golf industry has been one
of the main pushers for year-long DST in the US.

Yeah I don't get that one. Then again, I have met people who actually believe that DST causes the Sun to stay out longer in the Summer and therefore likely believe it will do the same in Winter if DST is year-round. :O
Trying to explain that it has to do with the tilt of the Earth's axis is met with blank stares.

It's not about opinion or personal preference. It's always a good idea
to go read up on what's actually been found in the studies.

I've heard that one, but not often. I think it's meant to be more
of a joke.

Yeah.. that's getting too technical. Simpler to just illustrate
the outcome by moving the hands of the clock. "Spring forward" =
evenings are extended, morning hour is earlier. "Fall back" =
evenings are cut short [darker earler], but mornings have earlier daylight.
I wonder what the world would be like if it were aimed toward night owls, rather than morning larks.
But, yeah, everyone hates changing the clocks (at least forward), but lots of people think it's unreasonable to be dark late into the morning, so we wind up with the compromise that most places wind up dealing with.
I do wonder what the best solution would be, but have a hard time
imagining that there'd be anything without a bunch of tradeoffs that make me uncertain about it.
Could you point out a study name?
What I'm finding are things about how morning sunlight helps set a circadian rhythm.
It's just, "if you get sunlight in the morning...".

But that's not a, "this is better if we would be permanently on standard time,
versus permanently on DST".

And, like with the thought of the world revolving around morning larks, not night owls, oftentimes the problem with being a night owl is that people expect you to wake up early. And that's not especially true about people expecting others to be awake and available at 8p, other than the occasional social call.
And to reiterate - I'm super happy and supportive of no longer having the time change, and just hope we can go with the healthiest option before too long.
So a 2-year experiment was initially very popular but quickly became very unpopular and lasted only 10 months.
Maybe you will get lucky and something similar -- in your case, realizing Standard Time is better -- will happen there, too. If your politicians are anything like ours, I wouldn't hold my breath but I might cross my fingers.
Watch the video I posted from the sleep researcher. Things that mess
with your circadian rhythms affect your health in negative ways. She explains it well, and explains the negative affects that DST has on it.
"why is standard time healthier than daylight savings time", you should find what you're looking for.
Trying to explain that will get blank stares from many, which is why
you cannot really expect the public to vote on something like that
because there are too many who didn't learn basic science and will
never comprehend how it works.
That said, I'm wondering about permanent DST versus permanent standard time. The negative effects from springing forward have been well-documented, I believe. And is easy to understand, when people suffer through getting up an hour earlier.
If she's pointing to something with negative effects of DST a month after the time change, that would make it more compelling for what I'm wondering.
This reminds me of when I celebrate when sunset is no longer getting earlier, which happens a few weeks before the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere.
And I've looked up the reasons why, and did a decent explainer on it, because it takes a _lot_ to get people to wrap their minds around how this works, rather than, "the shortest day of the year has the earliest sunset".
