Pick a time (standard time/DST) .... I don't care which and leave it there.
Did I mention I despise the time changes?

If daylight savings time is supposed to save energy (the original intent), why not have it all year long? It's already 8 months out of the year.
I HATE the change.

93. Hear hear! Driving through "sun delays" six times a year sucks. |
|
If we simply stayed on Summer Time, it would only happen twice a year for most workers.
And even in the Winter, we often need the extra daylight at the end of the day in order to move snow!

do you keep it in a shoebox under the bed, in a piggy bank, in your pocket where you can wrap your hand around it whenever you feel the need? Please tell us more.

Just voted YES to even things up a little.... I do think it's a good idea, though - the sun's angle changes on the earth, so it's actually following a natural phenominon. But it will suck on Monday morning..... mark

again for a month or so. I hate that. I want light in the morning when I get up.
I really don't care when it gets dark at night, except for those few weeks between DST and say early Feb. But morning is different. But then, I am a morning person...

It's natural.
And green, too.
And possibly even organic and whold grain.
I put that in as a joke, after I voted yes because no one else did.
Lighten up, guys (Get it - daylight - lighten up?)
Have a great day anyway.

I have to say I was taken by surprise to find out spring forward is tonight. I do like daylight savings, and definitely appreciate the extended evening light. I also like the mornings under daylight savings - I've always liked being up early. Ben Franklin had it right! Bring it on! Spring forward y'all!

The only drawback to going on DST is losing that hour overnight; it always takes me a few days to get readjusted. On balance, however, I'd rather have DST than remain on standard time year-round.

Edited on Sat Mar-07-09 09:29 AM by kickysnana
A study last year says that it costs too much energy dollars to start it this early. It also imperils pedestrians who are still slowed by icy conditions. Turning cars do not see them.
On edit: The 80-90 year olds in our building "sure hope they don't waste time on this right now with all the other problems we have."

Daylight saving time saves nothing. It is like cutting one end off a blanket and sewing it on the other to make it longer, The day is still 24 hours long no matter how you mangle the clocks. I like these Einsteins that think the sun actually rises and sets an hour later with DST.

I have a very finely tuned internal clock and the time change wreaks havoc with it. The older I get, the longer it takes to adapt. Fall is easier on me than spring, though, for some odd reason. :shrug:

I did an impromptu, utterly non-scientific poll on the subject once at work. Someone was complaining about the fall time change, which I prefer. This person was a certified "day" person. A light bulb went off, so I went around quizzing folks. It split almost perfectly down that line: day people hated the fall change, night people hated the spring change. I think I had one outlier. Oh, and my sample size was about fifteen, so it was obviously a useless exercise LOL. But interesting nonetheless. Your reply just reminded me of that. Kinda cool.

Just when I'm used to not having to turn on the lights in the morning, time change. :( I know it's going to be awesome to have light until 10pm, but right now, it sucks.
And by the way, the only reason Canada has to change time early is because of YOU guys. :P

Can't they just keep the same time, all the time? I prefer the fall-back time anyway. I live in a warm climate zone, and the coolness at night when it's dark is such a relief.

Now, my furnace will need to kick on an hour earlier in the morning, my lights will be on earlier and my daughter will once again be leaving for school and be sitting in her first class in total darkness and in a sleep deprived haze. Last year our state did standardized testing beginning on the first day of daylight savings time. I wonder how much it negatively affected scores. It takes your body DAYS to adjust to time changes.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Those cows knew what time it was.
I don't like fucking with time. When the sun is overhead, it should be noon, not one o'clock.
It doesn't "save" anything, it's just an excuse to sell batteries for smoke alarms.

If they set the clocks ahead 14 or 15 hours during the summer, I'd be OK with it.
If anything, in Texas during the summer, we should be waking up at 10pm, when the temperature begins to drop down to the mid 90's, and crashing at noon, when the most hellish part of the day begins.

I simply don't understand people's hostility to DST when there is so much more time during the day to do things outdoors.
The winters absolutely SUCK, not only because of the weather, but because the nights are so long.

79. You can get the same effect by going to bed and waking an hour early |
|
There's no need to change the clocks and you can do it year round if you like.

83. If only I could get my work to let me change by 1 hour |
|
That's the real issue for me - I am NOT a morning person and I NEED my afternoon light to get work done around here. I don't expect you'll understand my thinking/mental-emotional state, but that's OK.

67. I'll miss that hour every day until I get it back in November. |
|
But I do like coming home in sunlight.

68. Hate it. Pick a time and stick with it, quit jacking around with the damn clock. |
|
Did I mention that I hate it? :mad:

77. Not just no, but hell no. It was just starting to be light when I left for work |
|
(6:00 a.m.). Now I'm back to getting up and out in the dark again.

81. Same here. Back to having drive to work in the dark, after finally getting some light. |
|
Plus, by mid-summer, it will still be light when I have to go to bed -- no fun at all. :(

90. Not at the moment I don't. It takes me a while to adjust to the time change. |
|
After a week or so I'll like it. I'm not a morning person so I appreciate the extra daylight in the evening hours.

91. You spend your life in a cave? How can you not love it? |

My days are not the days of the week, bearing the stamp of any heathen deity, nor are they minced into hours and fretted by the ticking of a clock.

92. We don't follow it here in AZ. |
|
They only effect we notice is that some cable shows are on an hour earlier. Not a big deal. I don't have to change clocks, and I get to see the normal changes in the amount daylight during the year.

People on the Left and Right will complain endlessly about how much they hate big government, yet virtually 100% of the population will willingly acquiesce to having the government tell them it is noon when it is really an hour before noon. If you live anywhere in the vicinity of a rooster (that's a cock for you Brits - we're too babyish for that word in America), you know what folly DST is.

96. Where is the "Not just No but HELL NO!!" option? |
|
We don't have it out here -- but our cable schedules are based on Pacific time, so in effect, everything just "fell back" an hour. In particular, the rerun of the previous night's Stewart and Colbert move from 6 and 6:30 (perfecto) to 5 and 5:30. I leave work at 5. I'm doing well to get home by 5:40. So DST just deported me from the Colbert Nation. :(
