I have never been much effected by or concerned about daylight savings time. I have some friends, however, that have real problems with it. It can cause severe depression in some people.

How about you? Does it bother you to "spring forward and fall back"?

I'm alright with the whole fall back aspect especially if I have to work in the morning. Over all though it just messes with my internal schedule to a minor extent.

No answer for me there. I love daylight savings time. I'm not so fond of winter hours, or daylight wasting time, although now that I am up early to drive a school bus, it makes things easier for about the next three weeks, after which the downsides overwhelm any gains.

I don't care. In fact I don't see a difference. I wake at at the same set time, my work is at the same set time....etc..etc..

Its kinda annoying since I have to keep changing all my time pieces and wish they'd stop that carpola--but I guess I cant do nuthin bout it-so life goes on. :-))))

At least there are two days a year where every clock in the house reads the same.

There would be some days I'd be real happy not to have to see the sun up at 0530!

Biggest annoyance is resetting digital devices-the computers on my bikes, e.g. I wear analog watches, resetting them is a simple matter.
In 1973-1974 during the Oil Embargo there were attempts to do away with it, then there were complaints that kiddies were waiting for their school busses in the dark.
IIRC the need for more accurate and widely accepted time keeping came in with the railroads.

Make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

Or at least split the difference. IE, In Spring at 2 am advance it to 230 am and leave permantly.

With all the advance in energy saving technology in everything from refrigerators to toasters and coffee makers, why can't we just pick a time and leave it. Let's simplify life, there's enough going on in the world!

No answer for me there. I like it. It lets me read off the deck in summer @ 9:45 PM and lets my grandkids be at school with an 8 AM sunrise instead of a 9 AM sunrise. I don't care for the 5:10 AM alarm clock the first week or so of it but it is fairly easy to adapt to.

Daylight savings time: Kinda like cutting 6 inches off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end, then declaring you now have a longer blanket.

I have discovered the perfect solution to this problem. I keep some of my time pieces on regular time and some on DST. That way I'm good anytime of the years and I never have to make any changes.

I have one watch that is broken and even that is right twice a day.

I prefer it, would like it year round. I live in the eastern end of the central time zone and don't like dark at 4:30.

The only problem with making it year round (and thus changing our time zones from the rest of the world) is after a while, someone would want to go on daylight - daylight savings time.

Now if I want to go to bed early, I don't feel guilty doing it while it is still light outside.
I'm up at 4 in the morning, it is always going to be dark when I get up.

Just leave it as it is in the summer. I hate, hate, hate coming home at 5pm in the dark.

I've said this for years. Cut it 30 minuets and leave it alone.

Guess I need to run for congress to get it done.

I'm retired. Don't have to worry about being "late to my own funeral" as my ex-wife used to say. I'll be the first one there. Day light savings time or not.

Where is the option for "I love Daylight Saving Time"?

It's this "dark by 5PM" game I don't like.

Those who mentioned coming home at 5 PM in the dark rattled my brain cell, I did sports, had to walk or bum rides home in High School. Get home about 0 dark 30 and have to do the farm chores, in the dark. Guess I got to practice braille farming.

I would prefer to be on daylight savings all year long

You should live in Anchorage. Here we have put up with double daylight savings time, when Alaska agreed to go on Juneau time. In Nome its triple daylight savings time. Makes for dark start in the mornings.

Meh, didn't bother me when working and even less in retirement. After many years of working rotating shiftwork, I pretty much sleep when I want and stay awake when I want.

I didn't vote, because there wasn't really an answer that represented me. It doesn't effect me, but only because we don't play that game in AZ. So, I could have answered that it doesn't bother me, but that would suggest that I'm living with it, while I'm not.

Just another thing to love about AZ. Never fiddling with the clocks. Although, because of the rest of the U.S., I always have to think for a moment before calling other parts of the country, because the time difference obviously changes.

I would turn the clock's back two hours and leave it that way, I like having the extra daylight.

I still like my argument about DST being a significant contributor to global warming, by taking an hour of sunlight from the morning, when the earth is still cool from the night, and adding it in the evening, when the earth is already heated up from the day, and the extra sunlight has a much more severe effect.

The number of people who don't call BS on this right away, or even just say things like "Hm, never looked at it that way" is depressingly high.

Daylight savings time = this should have been phased out with the buggy whip and stanley steamer.....

And there are those who say that DST will save the world from global warming. Thus believing in not one, but two cons.

Just for fun, ask a college kid (or someone who still thinks like one) how DST got started. You will hear some great stuff.

Here on the Arabian Penninsula we don't have no stinken' savings time. Don't have it back in Arizona either.

Well, isn't that what happened with Atlantis?

Need another option to vote for, I like it.

I hate it when it gets dark early.

Much rather have it year round, especially during December eer season here. Hate gettingup at 4:30 a.m.

Here's one man's perspective:

“I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the daylight saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.” --

Evening automotive cruise-ins stay 'lighter' longer. Riding rollercoasters at Cedar Point in the evening is better in the 'light'. Working in the yard in the evening goes longer because of it.

I wish they would put it on way or the other and leave it alone!

I like it in the fall when I gain an hour. It stinks when you have to pay it back in the spring.

In this modern day and time the only good reason I see for it is to keep kids from going to their school bus stops in the dark as well as the pedestrian traffic around the schools.

All in all though, why don't they just start school an hour later? And like I said in the other post, why should it affect farmers when all they have to do is work the hours that keep them in daylight the most?

I wish we would "spring forward" and just leave it like that from now on. I get up and go to work early enough in the morning that it is dark or just beginning to get light out (summertime), so it doesn't have much affect on my mornings. But I really HATE it when we "fall back" and it starts getting dark out at 4 in the afternoon.....

I miss the longer hunting days. I have a pretty frantic daily schedule and sometimes (rarely) have a oppurtunity to sit in the deer stand in the evenings. When we roll the clocks back that is shot dead in the bed. Im for just leaving the clocks alone. Just my 2 cents.

My body has made the switch, but my brain remains on DST since Sunday.

The days are just as long with the same hours of light, get out early.

I do sir. But I work and the shift in the time does not allow as much day light in the evening due to the day starting earlier.

The clocks, wrist watches, and clock in the car can all be changed fairly easily. However, my Montblanc wristwatch is the only exception. I lost the owners manual and can't change the time. Does anyone here have an owners manual for a Montblanc 7062 that can make a zerox copy for me?

Im the same. I have 8 diff time devives-so I split it evenly. Saves time resetting all of them.

And the lighted gas-iron. And yes, they actually existed about 110 years ago.
