=== Remediation === Some clock-shift problems could be avoided by adjusting clocks continuously<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.squarefree.com/2006/11/01/continuous-daylight-saving-time/ |title=Continuous daylight saving time |author=Jesse Ruderman |date=1 November 2006 |access-date=21 March 2007 |archive-date=4 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160504080610/http://www.squarefree.com/2006/11/01/continuous-daylight-saving-time/ |url-status=live }}</ref> or at least more gradually<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jeppesn.dk/summertime.html |title=Proposal for a finer adjustment of summer time (daylight saving time) |date=28 September 2011 |access-date=28 September 2011 |archive-date=8 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008213011/http://jeppesn.dk/summertime.html |url-status=live }}</ref>—for example, Willett at first suggested weekly 20-minute transitions—but this would add complexity and has never been implemented. DST inherits and can magnify the disadvantages of standard time. For example, when reading a [[sundial]], one must compensate for it along with time zone and natural discrepancies.<ref>{{cite book |title=Sundials: Their Theory and Construction |author=Albert E.
