I HATE the time change. :mad: I would be happy to keep the time the same all year round. I’d be okay with splitting the difference and just adjust clocks a half hour and leave them forever the same.

I don’t care for the time change either. I like daylight in the evenings, when I am off work, so that I can be outside.

What a pain! That would add to the stress level of one’s life!
Where I live, the Navajo Reservation is the only area of our state that is on Daylight Savings Time.
I have heard of a study that says it is bad for one’s body to go through that twice a year.

I remember one study which actually showed that ceteris paribus a human body operates on a 25-hr cycle. So it’s difficult enough to adjust from day to day. The 23-hr day just makes it worse, except that in their wisdom they did manage to give you one day to adjust for the normal workweek. If you call that wisdom.
 
Ugh! I was blessed to grow up in Indianapolis, one of the rare places that didn’t buy into such nonsense…until recently:rolleyes: it’s supposed to be for the farmers. The cows and chickens will still get up at the same time:rolleyes:

I love daylight savings time. The longer days just make life a WHOLE LOT BETTER on every conceivable level.

I reconcile the fall back thing by telling myself that we get an extra hour that weekend. Spring forward I justify by looking forward to the longer days. And I do hate losing sleep in the morning; I don’t change the clock until I have been up a couple hours. I just lose the hour so to speak later in the day. (I honestly don’t know; am I still “losing an hour” in terms of sleep; how so?)

You are aware that the longer days have more do to with nature and not with the way the clocks are set.

Around June 21 in the northern hemisphere is when one has the most sunlight. Around Dec 21 is when one has the fewest hours of sun.
 
Does anyone even care about DST’s environmental impact.
The extra hour of daylight is what’s causing global warming :mad:

Here in the Australian state of Queensland, we held a referendum on weather to accept daylight saving after a trail of a couple of years, it was rejected,the majority didn’t want it,
And thank God it was, because if your self employed, you actualy work longer hours,
But,every year it’s the same thing,the minority want it,while the majority still reject it,
I just wish they all just go away and accept the majority disission , because if it were the other way around , then we that hate it would be told to accept the majority disission,

It’s all those welshman that we allow over the border. Get rid of them and we get rid of the problem.

We should put a great big fence through the middle of the gold coast. Only allow them through if they actually have a job on our side that requires the movement.

Bringing their house and going any further? Reject.

At least we can assume it won’t be on the cards for the next 3 years. Labor doesn’t have enough of a hold to do something so controversial.

I’ve talked with people that actually believe that, mostly teenagers with blonde hair.
 
DST is a an example of what politicians think of the intelligence of the American populace, whether they are right or wrong. That said, my wife sets the time on her alarm clock ahead ten minutes to help motivate her be on time. I do not understand either of these actions.

DST has nothing to do with intelligence. It has everything to do with me being able to play golf after work until 9:30. My wife does the same thing. She’s pretty smart.
 
I cast my vote for doing away with Daylight Savings Time! Now, my morning walk looks more like a midnight stroll! So unnecessary!
 
I would like to see a permanent year round change .Once we spring forward,keep it that way.

Move to Alaska and you can play through the whole night. 🙂

What’s wrong with Welsh people?

I’d be fine with permanent DST, but it would have to be nationwide. Dealing with Arizona and a few other places during the summer is a pain in the butt.

No reason to force Arizona to change. The rest of the country could go to permanent daylight saving time, Arizona could keep its current practice, and it would be effectively in the Pacific time zone all year.🤷
 
I love DST. I can’t drive in the dark and during DST I can drive later so many things open up for me.

Sorry, didn’t bother think about how that might sound to non-Aussies. Usually Aussie-specific posts are ignored by non-Aussies… granted that didn’t sound like an Aussie-specific post but a slam on Wales.

Wales is cool.

As Morwenna has said, I was referring to New South Welshman. Our southern neighbours.

The problem?
  1. They stay loyal to NSW.
  2. They want Daylight Savings.
Two things that need to change if they move north of the border.
