    We live in an age now where everyone could potentially sync up with “sunrise” as a floating value.

    Your alarm clock will wake you up at sunrise +0.5h (if the sun doesn’t).

    Work starts at sunrise +2h.

    Daylight savings time no longer exists.

    Everything is good.

      That probably would work well for those closer to the equator.

      But for those in the 100 minutes zone of this map that would mean going to work at 6:30am in the summer (assuming we are using civil twilight as “sunrise”), and 9:30AM in the winter which is much more of a swing than daylight savings puts on us, but at least it is a gradual one.

      For those above the Arctic Circle, they just work 24/7 for a couple of weeks in the summer but get a similar time off in the winter ;)
