Die Umstellung der Uhren löste erneut meinen Zeitzonen-Autismus aus, also habe ich eine Website darüber erstellt

  1. It’s always annoyed me how Finland follows the EET (UTC+2) timezone instead of the Central European CET (UTC+1). In Western Finland, where most people live, CET corresponds to our geographical location practically just as accurately, but it would be much better for EU cooperation. On the other hand EET gives us no benefits now that we won’t be cooperating with Russia for a long time.

    According to research it seems to be more healthy to live on the eastern edge of a timezone rather than on the western edge. This way the clocks are slightly behind the Sun, which makes it easier to fall asleep in the evenings and wake up in the mornings (so the effect is the opposite of daylight saving time).

    Now that the clocks were changed again, I was spurred to make a little grassroots activism PSA website about it. The page has maps, concise info, and a calculator that shows what time it really should be in various cities in Finland.

  2. My official position on DST: I do not care what timezone you pick. But PLEASE don’t change the clocks 2 times a year. I don’t think people even know _why_ we are doing it in the first place!

    Finland is well aligned with the EET, which has the midpoint on the 30th meridian east. Of course when it changes to the summer time it gets more out of phase. But during these times now it’s much nicer to have more light in the afternoon. In plain summer it won’t make any difference, there will be light early in the morning and late in the afternoon anyway. What’s most annoying is the change itself.
