Dilation Savings Time
A humble alternative to daylight saving time: fix sunrise at 6am and sunset at 6pm, and let the hours stretch and shrink. A free daytime hour might be longer than a free nighttime one.
Transcript
"Dilation Savings Time: define sunrise as 6am, and sunset as 6pm; the hours change length accordingly" (on the phone) "I only have one free hour this afternoon. But if you wait until tonight, I have a full 40 minutes."
