Is It More Desirable To Live at One End of a Time Zone Compared to the Other?

If you look at Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) in Canada, it basically stretches from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Sept Iles, Quebec. Roughly 2400km.

I know time zones aren't perfect, but with that much distance end to end. Is it better to live at one end? Even though it's the same time. One end would get more sun or possibly have better sleeps due to later sun rises.

I'm just curious if there would be a preferred end.

If you're at the Eastern end, you get a later sunrise; if you're at the Western end, you get an earlier sunset. Depends on your individual preferences, really.

I'd say the middle of a time zone would be best. You wouldn't have to deal with all those annoying time changes. Perhaps you would get used to it, though.

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. I'd just as soon live somewhere that doesn't have that goddamned "daylight savings time" bullshit. Nothing but a pain in the ass, and it accomplishes nothing but piss me off.
