A Modest Proposal

As I set my clocks back an hour and celebrate another ending of daylight savings time, I would like to make the following proposal:

Yay to falling back; nay to springing forward!

Adopting this proposal would result in a net increase of 72+ hours of sleep over the average lifetime. Yes, the position of the sun relative to the Earth at any given clock-hour would cycle full-circle over the course of 24 years. But night owls (such as myself) would finally gain equality with daylight ducks, who would have to learn what it’s like to want to sleep when everyone else is awake.
