Things I'm learning about the politics of sunlight:

If we want to improve human health, we should not fight against our body clock, and therefore, we should abandon DST and return to Standard Time (which is when the sun clock time most closely matches the social clock time) throughout the year.

This solution would fix both the acute and the chronic problems of DST. We therefore strongly support removing DST changes or removing permanent DST and having governing organizations choose permanent Standard Time for the health and safety of their citizens.'

2) There's a thing called Circadian Lighting (using smart lights to mimic natural lighting patterns to improve health and focus). Lighting companies have jumped on it as a way to shill expensive lightbulbs to big organisations as a productivity hack.

Some scientists are mad because they're like 'hey, we only just discovered this, we know barely anything about it, calm your farm - we should assess the impact of light manipulation like we would any medical intervention or drug.'
