alt Hacker NewsThat massively depends on where you live. The northern most city of British Columbia is Atlin and during some parts of the year the sun doesn't rise until 9:54 AM.
If you take into account places further north than British Columbia it gets even more extreme. Barrows Alaska has the sunrise after 1 PM some days. Do you think businesses, schools, etc are going to start at 1 PM on those days?
I think if you live where the sun doesn't rise until after noon (or never rises, etc) the DST change wasn't helping or hurting you either way here.
