This is crazy!   The only place in Alaska where clock time is even close to sun time is Southeast during Standard Time.   By the time you move westward to Anchorage, sun time is almost two hours off clock time.   By the time you get to Bethel, Nome, or Kotzebue it is three to four hours off clock time and even around the equinoxes the sun doesn't rise until ten or eleven AM and it is still light at midnight.   In ANC it is merely a bit disorienting, but in the Western parts of the State it has a dramatic effect on the way people live.   Daylight Savings Time is unnecessary and inconvenient, but the biggest thing it does is make the disassociation between sun time and clock time even worse.
