Daylight Saving Time- is there a compromise?

I have come up with a solution to Daylight Saving Time that I think everyone would be happy with! Some people like it, they can enjoy more daylight in the evening and they are probably the kind of people who like to sleep in anyway! Others hate it (like me!) because all it does is throw off their schedule for a few days twice a year and it is especially annoying to help kids adjust to the time change. Arizona and Hawaii don't even observe DST, but maybe we could get them to agree to this solution.
So here is what I propose: set the clocks ahead in the Spring 30 minutes and then just leave it alone! That way, you add just a little bit more daylight in the evening and then in the Fall, the time change from the Spring before will not seem like such a big deal.
I read in the paper that there is an increase in heart attacks at the time of DST. It’s always an adjustment on my family, but it can be deadly for those who may be in fragile health. I also read about a study that showed an 8% increase in auto accidents the Monday after the clocks were changed. A doctor attributed this to lack of sleep, but could it also be because suddenly it's darker outside than it was the Friday before?
And speaking of lack of sleep, it can take up to 5 days for our bodies to get used to the new schedule every time the change is made.
Farmers don't like DST because they work with the sun no matter what the clock says.
In the summer it's nice to have the extra sunlight but for parent's with kids on a year-round schedule, it's hard to put the kids to bed at 8:00 when the sun doesn't go down until 9.
"Claims that there is a savings in electricity usage seems to be unfounded. Instead DST appears to affect the peak demand negatively. In the meantime, we have less sunlight in the morning, and in the evening we have more." -- Elizabeth Schram
I agree. Since it was dark when I got up this morning, doesn't it just make sense that I will use the lights for that hour while the sun is coming up, even though I didn't use it last night? Like I said, if you sleep in anyway, it'll be light when you get up, but if you are a night owl, like my husband, you are going to use a lot of electricity anyway. Maybe we should all just try to find a way to cut back on our electricity use instead of having the Government tell us what time it is and try to control our energy use.
Well, those are my thoughts, I welcome thoughts from you about Daylight Saving Time. If you are vehemently opposed to DST, this Web site (http://www.standardtime.com/)suggests writing a letter to your Congressman - not a bad idea.
