I cannot express how much I loathe daylight-saving time, especially since 2007, when it was extended into November.

My argument against it is that noon is a real thing, an event of celestial bodies. Circadian rhythms in the human body are real. And I’m tired of living off what should be Montevideo’s clock.

People talk about how they prefer daylight-saving time because they don’t like the dark. Well, me neither. I would prefer the sun as an ally in helping my young children get up and prepare for their school days.

If you want to live as a night owl, fine. Keep your lights on. The rest of us have work to do.
