Americans almost universally hate the start of Daylight Savings Time (DST) because it happens annually on a Sunday morning and thus shortens that weekend for most people. However, with a simple timing adjustment, we can make this "spring forward" tradition a happy occasion for the majority of the workforce. We petition that starting in 2015 and continuing annually thereafter, DST is set to begin on a Friday at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This will give most people a shortened work day, an early start to the weekend, and more time to recover from the clocks moving forward an hour, rather than eating into a precious Sunday and hastening the start of a new work week. For the end of DST ("fall back"), no change is needed as this already benefits most people.
