Don’t forget to put your clocks one hour back Saturday evening before you go to bed. (11/3/18)
Personally I hate the dark days of winter.

Thanks for the reminder, @raclut . I really dislike changing the time twice a year; I grew up in an area that never changed time, and I think that’s better. At least this one is much easier on me than the spring time change. 
Thanks—we lose track since we aren’t on DST. I hope my calendar has all the times of things I’m supposed to participate in correct in light of DST and non-DST. :-& 
I don’t mind the colder temps, but really dislike shorter days. Not looking forward to driving home from work in the dark.
I hate having less daylight in the evening. I’d stay on DST year round if we could. I don’t give a hoot if it’s dark in the morning when I’m heading to work.
But ideally, I wish this were our signal to pack up and head south - even the Southern Hemisphere. I like longer daylight and warmer temps (though > 80 gets too warm, so there’s that). I’ve mused that the Fountain of Youth is actually the Vitamin D those closer to the equator can get year round that those of us further from the equator miss during these months.
ps On our last trip home this past week from points even further north we began wondering if anyone of retiree age is left in Eastern Canada. We sure passed enough of them trekking south for seemingly a long time.
I wouldn’t mind daylight savings time all the time. I love the longer days and seeing the sun set after 8:30pm. I think I need to move somewhere warm. (maybe San Diego or Florida) I despise winter. As soon as we spring forward in March I am a happy camper.
Oh good god. What @HImom said. Have to make sure our meetings start at correct times!
Oh shoot…just when I was sure I knew the time differences between here and AZ, and her and overseas where we have relatives. Back to google on Sunday!
Hopefully since we are only 2-5 hours different from time zones in the rest of the US after this weekend, they’ll stop having meetings at 6am or earlier. That’s really unreasonable imho.
Right now it’s exactly a 12 hour time difference to the East Coast for us which is easy to remember. Not looking forward to the change.
Mr. B has conference calls with Europe… by law, those guys don’t work before 8 am or after 5 pm their time. Just when we got it figured out how to blend this this crap into our morning schedule, it is going to change! Argh.
I don’t like the dark late afternoons, but I’ve found it really hard to get up at my regular time (7 a.m.) this week, and I think it’s because of the late end to DST.
I hate when it’s dark early. At least there are distractions to get through the end of the year, like holiday prep.
When I lived in Boston I liked it when the time changed because shortly thereafter we could see the Christmas lights on the Common at 4 pm which was kind of festive. Now that I live much further west in a different time zone it doesn’t make much difference to me. I don’t mind driving home in the dark (but I have a very short commute.).
Now I have to wait an extra hour to text with my daughter each day. : (
Don’t like the early sunset at all. Would really prefer an extra hour of light at the end of the day.
I would like it to be light during my normal waking hours…6:30 am-10:30pm would be perfect. Can someone arrange that, please?
We always shake our heads and roll our eyes when we see articles about adjusting to daylight savings time, how to survive when you lose an hour of sleep, how dangerous it is. We work all hours of the day and night, constantly changing time zones, and people are trying to figure out how to adapt to an hour. Must be nice to have such regular sleep!
I guess I’m in the minority here. I don’t like the dark mornings. I’ll be glad for the change.

The fact is that daylight savings time DOES affect the health of the population. There are more accidents around the transitions than at other times. The fact that your schedule may be having an even more damaging effect on you doesn’t mean that we don’t need to consider that even an hour change is problematic and dangerous for society.
