: I agree that storing data ''just'' in local time, without any TZ information is a really bad approach to take and should be avoided at all cost. The approach of storing in local time alongside the TZ information is still relevant, though I think the risk of somehow losing the TZ information when using the approach of storing data in local time + TZ information is a real issue that can occur. But for many analyses the actual local time is what people are actually interested in. Sleep timing (including naps), diet timing strategies, physical activity etc. are mostly based on local time. But again, all of these local times should also include the TZ. - [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] ([[User talk:Gedankenstuecke|talk]]) 10:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

== local time requires the time zone to be correctly written too while UTC does not ==

so local time definitely introduces extra opportunity for errors.
