daylight savings

I love it being light for a couple hours after work- it's incredible! My running options double, and it just feels good to be in sunlight.

So according to the national designation, we are now in the period of saving out daylight. This period also just got extended so it's a little longer than it used to be. My question is, why don't we just save daylight all year?? I mean, why wouldn't you want to save daylight? Not only would it be easier on our memories and circadian rhythms, we would get the joys of more sunshine giving us vitamin D. Who gets up that early anyway? I'd rather get up in the dark and come home in the setting sun than get up in the dark anyway and go home in the dark too...

maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it seems to me.
