It’s always annoyed me how Finland follows the EET (UTC+2) timezone instead of the Central European CET (UTC+1). In Western Finland, where most people live, CET corresponds to our geographical location practically just as accurately, but it would be much better for EU cooperation. On the other hand EET gives us no benefits now that we won’t be cooperating with Russia for a long time.
According to research it seems to be more healthy to live on the eastern edge of a timezone rather than on the western edge. This way the clocks are slightly behind the Sun, which makes it easier to fall asleep in the evenings and wake up in the mornings (so the effect is the opposite of daylight saving time).
Now that the clocks were changed again, I was spurred to make a little grassroots activism PSA website about it. The page has maps, concise info, and a calculator that shows what time it really should be in various cities in Finland.

Changing the clocks might be part of the Finno-Korean hyperwar? War on autism is still ongoing, indeed?
My official position on DST: I do not care what timezone you pick. But PLEASE don’t change the clocks 2 times a year. I don’t think people even know _why_ we are doing it in the first place!
