Poll: Daylight Savings Time Tomorrow: Keep it? Dump it? change it?

[Elefantman]

Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow. Kiss an hour of sleep good bye. I'm tired of it. Let's just keep the clocks on standard time all year. Back in the 70's we tried to go year round with DST, having sunrise after 7:30 on a December morning wasn't a good idea. Your thoughts?

I don't really care which one we do, I just never want to "change the time" ever again. I put it in quotes because I do not own any clocks that I manually change.

If daylight saving time was implemented year-round, parts of the northern United States, particularly in states like North Dakota, Montana, and Michigan, would experience sunrises after 10am during the winter months,

Standard time, year round.

Just go to bed 1 hour earlier. Problem solved!

Or move west to the next time zone.

This - I really don't care. It's just not a big deal.

It is Daylight Saving, not Savings.

The time change has never been a big deal to me. It’s annoying that day but I get over it quickly. The one manual clock in the den I never changed after we fell back so now I’m fine. I would prefer we drop it altogether but I don’t want year round DST.

Side note, all of China is one time zone.

yeah, we use a rendering company in China for our new building designs. We get reply emails from every single time during the day.

All us farmers 'round here believe that extra hour of daylight will benefit our crops. 😊

The reminder signs at my local Krogers and my local Walmarts both say "savings".

Apparently in 1973/74 we tried the only daylight savings time, and it was a monumental bust. Of course the iPhones back then weren't bright enough to light the road on the way to work in the mornings.

It was dark walking to school. It was difficult to see even with all the snow on the ground and walking uphill.

I like the daylight in the evening.

Amen! I went for a ruck and it was nice and sunny the whole time

So....not changing clocks is Communist!!!!

Thanks for pointing this out.....

I tend to wake up before 5 every morning and the closer we get to March, the earlier I wake up. So, in a weird way, being on DST gives me back an hour of sleep for a little while. At least that's what I tell myself.
