Daylight savings time.

[walkin jack]

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 wish they would settle on one way and leave it alone. I don't care which. To my way of thinking they are fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

 

[Arik]

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.

 

[soFlaNative]

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.

 

[Ozark Marine]

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.

 

[model70hunter]

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.

 

[johngalt]

I would prefer to be on daylight savings all year long

 

[TGaryT]

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.

 

[radar1972]

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.

 

[Bullzaye]

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.

 

[Absalom]

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.
