On the last day of standard time on Saturday, the sun rose and set over the city at 6:12 a.m. and 5:59 p.m., respectively., meaning early risers and children who head to school around 7 a.m. would do so as the sun still slumbers.

Sunlight activates key hormones that fuel a person’s activities for the day, and the earlier that process starts the better, according to advocates for standard time.
