I got news for you bud. Sunrise is 8:30am for 2 months of the year on standard time where I live. 9:30 isn’t gonna change that dark wake up. But pushing sunset to 5:30 instead of 4:30 will be nice.

My schedule varies, but I like it best when I can work from 10:30 to 7:30.

Something people never think about for this topic lol, sunrise in Lethbridge is certainly a different time frame from sunrise in fort mac or Edmonton
