Why switching to summertime is nonsense

Today the yearly clock switching to summertime took place: What a nonsense !
Clocks were switched one hour ahead (+ 1 hour) as usual. Some people say: "Great", so we have one hour more of day light in the evenings: Instead of 9 PM (e.g.) sun set is at 10 PM: "Hello, anybody at home ?!?" I don't wonna sit in a restaurant in the evening, having a romantic dinner and candles are useless since the sky is still blue. Who wants to have a blue sky after 9 PM ?? I want a night sky, I want the stars, I want candles, I want to feel the recreation of the night.

My opinion: Switching to summertime is a rediculous idea: Why do I have to stay up one hour more before it's getting dark (and thereby making it even harder to fall asleep by the way - at least if you don't have a jalousie).

And just by the way.....: Even without summer time (+ 1 hour) the sky remains bright enough in the summer evenings... "Hellooooo !!! ".

And one even more rediculous fact: In the mornings, the sun rises one hour later. Well, that does not make any sense to me: I am not allowed to sleep one additional hour: At least, I think my boss would object.

Please ladies and gentlemen, boys and and girls, anybody who agrees, please leave a comment. I really appreciate your opinion. Let's stop this crazy nonesense. Thanks !!!
