I moved to South Africa in 2019, having lived for 40 years in Belgium before that.
Belgium has DST, South Africa does not.
Before the move, I thought the DST change affected me for about a week or so.
I now know that it actually affects me the whole year round. My daily rhythm has stabilized over the past few years. I consistently wake up with the Sun now, which I could never do before the move.
DST is a terrible idea.
