Here, DST doesn't stop that, it would have to run through winter!

I find DST helps with my sleep, because I struggle to sleep after sunrise, and
having the clock an hour ahead means I've effectively gone to bed earlier and
had an hour extra sleep by sunrise.

For me it means more sport training in venues that don't have adequate lighting
in the evening.

Works the same for me.

P.S.  here, we finish DST in 6 weeks. :)
