DST actually causes more problems than it solves. It would be more beneficial to eliminate DST entirely, simplify time zones dramatically, and just let people do what they want with their time.

DST is meant to solve the problem of 'sun comes up earlier', but all it accomplishes nowadays is to ensure that you get to work closer to the same amount of time after the sun comes up, which makes no real sense. In effect, it shortens mornings because you just end up stuck at work faster.
