    As someone who works all day, commutes, and then has to sleep, I don’t understand this viewpoint.

    What am I going to do with extra daylight after work? I’m still just going home and then to bed. It’s not like I’m taking an excursion to the lake at 8pm when I’ve got to be up at 5am to get ready for work.

      I have no kids, work 40 h/Week and only have a 6 min bike-commute left (used to be 55 min by train from a bigger city).
      So in the summer I get up at 5:50, leave for work at 6:50, start work at 7 till 16:30 and am back home at 16:40 (Fridays are shorter). I go to bed at around 23:00. In the winter i sometimes shift the whole thing back by 1 hour.

      So on a normal weekday I have ~6,5 hours left to cook, clean, meet friends, do sports. So yes, i am absolutely going to the lake at 8pm.

      In the winter it’s still dark 4 days a week, when I get home. So no visit to the lake, no long bike-tours etc… All activities that require sunlight have to take place on saturday/sunday. I could really use more sunlight in the winter.
