Day light savings time yea or not?

[mike werner]

Been running around the house changing clocks that don't change automatically.The microwave and coffee maker may end up in the back yard.
I HATE DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!
Arizona and Hawaii reefers enjoy the night off.

DLST might be one of the dumbest things we have invented.
But does give me an extra hour of daylight in the morning to walk my goldfish.

Luckily someone invented something in case the water sloshes out and i need to keep my feet dry.

Forgot to set the clocks. First time ever. I'm not loving the time change at the moment.

 

[AdamB]

I like the extra hours sleep but not liking it this moment either since I woke up early about an hour and a half ago east coast time ..

 

[Mr Fishface]

Haha I totally forgot about DLST. I was wondering why I was up an hour earlier! I don't enjoy it, the time change is tough on me. Instead of waking up closer to 5 am, I am now up at 3:30am

 

[TheOne]

Same here, I have to wake up at 5am everyday. I've been sitting up since 4am.

I honestly wish they would do away with it.

Did somebody say coffee? As you can see I love coffee, ha.

I wish we would switch to DST and stay there. More daylight at end of day is best.

We have legislation in the works to change our time zone to Atlantic standard and get rid of dst, which would keep us in summer mode all year long. Only problem is we’re only doing it if Maine and mass do it too lol so come on you New Englanders help nh out!

This is the correct answer. DLST is fine just keep in all year, why do we do this. It’s stupid in 21st century to image it still has any positive effect on productivity. I promise I’m minimally productive regardless of the time

Good thing for this thread, I forgot all about it.

It's ok. Your clock doesn't need to be changed.

 

[SallyWho]

As a night shifter, it really wonks up my schedule. Yeah, if I work an extra hour I get paid for it, but it sucks seeing 0200 hit twice (or alternatively, getting shorted an hour in the spring). But on the plus side, I think this is the first time in 3 DLST cycles that my Apex has updated its time automatically...

 

[hllb]

Technically DST is over now. I hate changing the time, especially in the spring. Just pick a time and leave it alone!

 

[Slicktop]

Keep DST year round.. It will be dark here tonight @ 530.

 

[NatD]

It’s not my favorite.

The baby sure doesn’t care that we could’ve slept In a while longer.

 

[lavoisier]

DST serves no economic purpose and oppresses our souls. Workers unite! :mad:

 

[Gw2kpro]

Just do away with it

 

[Water Dog]

Aren’t we technically going from DST back to standard time? I say keep us in DST year round. I hate leaving the office to pitch darkness in the winter.

 

[Dkeller_nc]

From what I understand, one of the original purposes of the "fall back" thing was so that schoolkids weren't waiting at the bus stop in the dark, which presented a safety hazard. Of course, in modern times with inappropriate long bus routes that start at 6 a.m., the kids will be waiting at the bus stop anyway, regardless of the time change.

So yeah, just do away with it.

It's a tease for me right now. I normally get out of work at 3:30 pm, home by 4ish. The last minute leaf raking/outdoor stuff usually gets done on the weekends now.

I never get to sleep in...ever. My internal clock wakes me up at 5:30 DST regardless of the day. I rarely sleep much past 7 am..the time I have to be at work. I'd have to stay up really late and screw up my sleep schedual to change anything.
