To be honest I prefer it to having more time waking up to hours of darkness in the winter mornings.

As it is in the peak of winter it doesn't get fully light until 10am and by 2.30pm it slowly starts to get dark again. Without the switch over it would be nearly noon until the sun was going full whack.

The summer is a giggle though as you can read without the aid of a streetlamp at 11pm and the sun starts to come up again around 3am.

There is a period just after midnight where you can practically see dawn and dusk in the same sky.
