Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13

I enjoy light in the evenings, but I also struggle to wake up when it's dark so I like regular time in the winter. I tend to wake up easily and go to bed easily. I also live in the south and we have longer days than people up north. I could never live where it gets dark at 4! 5:30 is bad enough! Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
Yes! The time change is so disruptive. But adjusting the time during the day that I have to be somewhere? So much easier. (And I'm not even really sure why.)

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
I would much rather keep the same time all year. It's the transition that messes me up. I really don't care how light or dark it is without the time changing, it's nature's rhythm.
Kids go to school too early anyway, and everything else can be adjusted as needed.

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
Absolutely. Just pick something and leave it alone. The change is horrible.

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
I had zero clue people felt this strongly abt DST. I don’t like the time change on a professional level because the time change really makes a few things confusing during the shift. BUT I’m so excited I’m on a 7a-3p schedule and don’t have to deal w that anymore
Fall behind is so much harder as the same hour happens twice in one shift. Spring ahead is odd but it is what it is and if you focus on using digital time keepers that automatically change I do ok. The new hospital I work in has smart boards and smart clocks everywhere so there won’t be the annoying part of not being able to use a wall clock until everything is reset that comes along w DST I’d definitely have to move south if they ever eliminated DST. I guess I’ve tried to be grateful for portions of Both time changes. As it’s not something within my control I don’t think much abt it. But I do love spring when the darkness of winter recedes. And I adore spring ahead in a mental health way. It feels like the time that the world is bright again. I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation and I feel a lot like a butterfly. I strongly dislike most aspects of winter

Same here! I have them messing with Old Father Time. Just leave the poor old man alone. He's been around this long and totally deserves our respect!

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
Apparently, the US Senate passed a bill that would make Daylight Savings Time permanent.
I personally hate spring forward, but I love fall back. I don't like waking up in the dark. I guess I could deal with Daylight Savings Time all the time, but I do not like it staying light outside until 9pm. I am constantly fighting the battle of trying to get my night owl family to shift their schedule earlier. But, whatever.

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
Well, then, why not standard time always? Or split the difference with 1/2 an hour, lol.

Re: Daylight Savings Time Sunday, March 13
WOW, I am so excited at the prospect of this becoming permanent. I never thought I'd see the day. This is huge. I mean, sooooo many of my peers and I deal with seasonal affective disorder. This would put a dent in that.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has long advocated for eliminating DST as it disrupts our circadian rhythms (not just the switching to DST, but the ongoing shifted hours themselves): https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8780
