Seems like it's about time to tell why DST causes the curtains and everything else that's fadeable in the house to fade quicker.

The simple fact is that the window drapes, shutters, Venitian blinds or whatever are opened one hour earlier relative to the position of the sun, so they get one hour more sunlight than if there were not DS.

The alignment and configuration of a house have a bearing on this and in some houses, there will be less fading than in others.

Remedies are to stay in bed an hour longer or not to open things up till an hour later, personally, I favour the first option.

So you stay in bed longer but that option means you open the shutters by the clock as always? How long were you in the military saluting doctors , princes , gun-slingers and obsession psychiatrists?

"So you stay in bed longer but that option means you open the shutters by the clock as always?"

Do you really need to ask?

It is raining here, started the day daylight saving started, had some every day.
Could it be daylight saving brings an end to drought?

"Do you really need to ask?" You say the venetians can be left closed. A balanced person may say he'll leave them until a bit later or have them darker during summer. But you will sleep 1 hour until the scheduled time and open the venetians on waking per timetable. Bet you have a colour chart to measure monthly fading , wash curtains on third Thursday each month and record it all in an exercise book with red pencil in ruled columns.

Nick,

Daylight saving causes extra fading, get used to it.
