Now if we were on permanent double daylight savings time like Russia, then people *would* use less artificial light at home... and probably be more productive at work because they're reaping all the benefits of getting some natural light and outdoor recreation.
Actually, yes...every office in our building (except 3) has one wall that is full glass. Most of the people don't even turn their lights on due to the amount of sunlight coming in through the window. But I mostly like it because it gives people more daylight after work to spend outside with family, etc. The idea being that they aren't inside with all the lights on, watching tv, on the computer, playing video games, etc. And at 6:00 a.m. I personally couldn't give a rat's @ss how light it is outside...can you tell I'm not a morning person? I'm sure the commuters would disagree...that's why I said IMO. :-)
