If I understand correctly, For those of us in the north standard time may exacerbate SAD. From what o understand the goal is to improve the amount of daylight in the evenings because it’s when the vast majority of people can get outside.

This would be life changing for our family to get home at 4pm and have aj hour of light. I leave in the dark and get home to dark. (I work 7-3:30pm).

I could be mixing this up but I read a huge reason is
1 stopping the time changes (improve sleep)
2 improving SAD. (Allow more time to enjoy light)
