The hard to get up in the morning is the worst argument for DST ever. It's hard to get up because we are disputing the rhythm by changing the clock around. It's like saying "The Japanese time zone is terrible. Everytime I traveled there I get jet lag."



It's not like saying that at all.

Live in a non-DST timezone, and nothings bad.

Live in a timezone observing DST and you get the time shift twice a year, without fail.

I'd say it's more like saying - "Travelling is terrible because I hate jet lag".

I agree that it's not a very good argument. I'd say a better one that it's a weaker version of is: DST kills people:
