    Yes, but not everybody's that lucky.  Many people work fixed shifts.  And of course millions of children have to get to and from school every day.  I've heard arguments that it's safer for that to happen during daylight.  That sounds as if it ought to be true, although I don't know whether or not the accident figures back it up.

    Haven't had to deal with this myself, but DST must complicate fixed shifts as well ? (If you're on shift from midnight till 8am when the clocks go back, do you work 9 hours ? You wouldn't necessarily get the hour off again when they go forward, as it may be someone else's rota on nights.)

    The really messy one I've come across is working across two offices in the northern and southern hemispheres; changing to DST on different dates and in different directions.
