> Having to get up early the next day means you can have 3, maybe 4 hours of socializing outside
I'm not sure I understand - moving the clock back means you would get off work "sooner", but you would also have to arrive at work in the morning "earlier". So it shouldn't make any difference to the hours of sleep you get.

I find these times confusing, b/c you don't state whether they are times under the new, DST-adjusted measure, or the previous scheme. I'd assume if your employer has a fixed 9AM start time, then it would have a fixed end-time too, and thus it wouldn't make sense to me how you would be able to get outside (for 6PM vs 8PM) any earlier.

I would be able to get outside earlier because due to the changed clock the sun is down earlier and it’s not too hot to be outside at an earlier time. You need to wait until the sun is down because in direct sunlight you burn alive. Even if you wear sunscreen (which is icky and gross) it’s super uncomfortable in direct sunlight so you really can’t be outside for more than a few minutes at a time.
