Perhaps moving the clocks back two or three hours would even be better.

How about splitting the difference to 1/2 hour change. Seriously this time change is stupid. More heart attacks happen on the time change day then any other day.

Singapore, which is near the equator and has about the same number of hours of daylight all year long, effectively observes daylight savings time all year long. The sun rises and sets around 7:00 AM and PM respectively. They shift one hour of daylight from morning to evening. In Massachusetts, the sun sets about 4:10 PM for a couple of weeks around December 9th. (The earliest sunset is not on December 21st.) It’s depressing, especially for people who work.

I like the idea of shifting sunset later in the day, and rising in the dark, since most people work in the morning anyway.
