Both options aren't great IMO. I think our actual days should be shorter so we are granted a bit of a hibernation break. So your friends kids go to school after dawn at a reasonable hour, but still come home before the sun sets too. Same for work and everything.
Actually, since school ends at noon either way, they still get home before sunset. I don’t know. I rarely wake up before 8:30 AM, so it never really affected me. But I keep hearing lots of complaints from people who have early morning jobs.
In high school I remember being in my second class by the time the sun rose, and then I wouldn't get home until after the sun set. Have worked many jobs like that too. And people wonder why folks get so depressed in the winter!
I feel lucky I am at a point in life now where I sleep in until the sun rises, it's a good life 🥰
Same. The sunlight makes me happy and I'm lucky to enjoy it.
