I think you misunderstand daylight savings? Setting the clock back means daylight happens earlier in winter. For example, in Melbourne tomorrow sunrise will be at 6:40am. If we were still on daylight savings time, it would be at 7:40am, so still dark when a lot of people are getting up to go to work and commuting. And due to the way the earths orbit works, sunrise will get progressively later until the winter solstice. I definitely prefer having the winter sunrise earlier, so am happy the clocks go back to regular time. And in Summer, it’s nice to have the extra daylight in the evening instead of crazy early.
Well, that makes daylight savings sound nicer, but a consistent time is still more important to me. My partners live in places with daylight savings and the adjustment always causes misery for everyone.
