And when it is not light, we turn the lights on, whether it is in the evening or the morning, right? So how am I saving energy by not turning my lights on at 6 am, but having to turn them on at 6pm instead of 7 pm?

The theory is that more people are awake at 7pm than at 6am. During the summer it's more like 4 or 5 am when people would have to be awake to suffer from legally imposed darkness.

I guess I don't understand it because I always have to turn the lights on in the am, too (I get up at 4:30 - 5:00)

That's because Congress thinks you're weird.

Well, but I don't know any adults that are not SAHM who don't have to be to work at 8:00 am or before. I would think that most adults in my city/area are awake by 6, at least.

I get into the office at 8:30. I have co-workers who don't get in until after 9:30. Of course, I get up way early to get here, because I live far away, but you'll hear employees bitch if a meeting's early enough that they need to wake up before 8.

This is me!

Wow-- I just live on another planet! How late do you have to stay?

(Also, I should have said I don't know any adults in my area-- as I know that people in larger cities seem to have to be at work later)

My hours used to be 9:30 - 5:30. Then they extended them to 6:30. But now that I'm my own boss, my hours are more like 10:00 - 5:00.
