If it applies to your area, do you prefer Daylight Savings time or Standard Time? There has been lots of talk about keeping Daylight Savings Time, but it's not happened yet.
I love the late summer sunsets, but I also dislike the early morning darkness we were having until we moved the clocks last week.

Some health professionals have expressed their opinion that the body clock is more suited to Standard Time. I wake up better when there is light. There are only so many hours of daylight on any given day. We don't really get "Extra" daylight, we just get light at a different time.

I tend to go to bed earlier and be a bit of a couch potato in the evening, when it's dark. Then again it's getting cold, and even colder at night. Chances are I'm not going out because it's dark, more so because it's cold! I think I'd prefer Standard Time if I had to select one time to be permanent. I remember the one year we didn't switch the clocks and the dark winter mornings and late sunrise are not something I'd like to be permanent.

I know not too many people enjoy the week or so after we change the clocks in either direction. It does seem to screw us up.

What's your choice if you have to pick, Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

 

I would vote for Standard Time. What we're on now. Like the morning light, but also seems a waste in the spring when it's getting dark later to push it along and stay light till 8:30 or 9. Second choice would be either, but stay on it year round.

 

Just stay on Standard Time and be done with the twice-yearly changes! I lived my first 20 years of life or so with Standard Time, and it was fine with me!

 

I could live with either time, but for God's sake please stop changing it every 6 months. I am hyper-sensitive to time changes, a measely hour doesn't sound like much, but it is really hard on me (and my cat lol). The fall change is easier as you gain an extra hour of sleep but it is still hard to adjust to, better than the spring change IMO. I like the morning light, easier to wake up to and I like driving to work in daylight. In the summer months we get a lot of daylight in evening hours, as late as 9:30 - 10:00 pm, so I don't mind giving up a bit of evening sun. I can live with anything, just stop changing it.

Our Province has approved ending the time changes, but we need several US states to follow suit before it can happen.

 

I prefer Daylight Savings Time. I really like light in the evenings because Vito and I tend to do our walking then. The days seem longer. Now it is a bit past 5:30 and it is very dark already and soon to be getting dark even earlier.

 

I will take either but would prefer Daylight Savings Time. Thank goodness I'm retired and only have three clocks to change but when I was working the switch was a nightmare with the number of clocks, timers and what not to change. We had to remember that some of the timers had to be change ahead of time or some of the machines would be ready to run and if they ran on Saturday I would have to go in on Sunday to make the changes.

 

Either, just pick one and stay on it.

 

Keep it one time for the locals. Frankly, for me, time is make believe. Half of my life, literally, has been crossing time zones with the most important time, for the military and airlines, is what time is it in Greenwich England (Zulu time or GMT).

I am finally getting used to waking up and not feeling jet lag. I thought that feeling was actually normal.

Nighttime? Daytime?

Here are some flight track screen shots along with morning or evening shots. Mountains are the Alps. Can you see the Matterhorn? Morning shot heading for Milan. Compare that with the last, which is also heading into Italy but this time it is early spring. How much darker it is! What time is it? Who cares? Time is make believe:

 

Cosmo, those are some really cool shots.

I have forgotten. Are you retired now?

 

Lainey, you have started a similar thread many other years.

Ten years ago, you even did a poll about the subject. Maybe you should do another poll and see if opinions have changed now that everyone is ten years older.

I know that many people have a hard time adjusting to the one hour time change. It does not bother me at all.

That said, I do like more light at the end of the day.
