Just when it starts to get light around 5:30 a.m. in March, we are plunged into darkness again until June. For people who don't get out of bed until 7:00 a.m. each day, it is no big deal. For those of you who are young enough to not have been alive prior to DST and believe the summer evening sky is only light because of it, you should know that summer nights are lighter longer anyway.
