DST confusion?

Sometimes I wonder if people really know what's going on with the time change thing. For instance, are they really aware that when they wake up at 5 AM on DST during spring and summer,  and early fall,  they're really waking up at 4 AM on normal time (Standard). Do the math! But supposedly they want more daylight at the late end of the day, or a longer day. That could have been easily resolved without a mandatory time change. An alarm clock set an hour earlier was and is the solution.

People somehow seem confused! In the summer there will be more light than in winter. I suppose that traditionally switching back to Standard Time (normal) right before winter has added  to the confusion. Of course, that was intentionally done. Oh well, I guess folks will just have to deal with the health problems when those arrive in the near future. The crashes will be more immediate. Sleep deprivation is very dangerous.

Personally, I think we should all just use clocks and watches set to True Solar Time. End of story.
