The problem with DST is it doesn't go far enough.
We should have 1-hr DST changes in March and November, and ANOTHER hour changes in May and August.

Benefits:
1. People get used to the changes - more safety.
2. Maintaining even closer to a flat sunset curve.
3. Pisses off stodgy grumps.
Why that infrequently? Now that we have computers keeping track of the time for us, maybe we could let go of the 24-hour day, and we could adjust by about 20 seconds (or 40 seconds, to your idea) every night. Then, we would have the benefits of DST, but it would shift so gradually we wouldn't notice it.
