It's Time to Kill Daylight Savings

" … For morning people, Daylight Savings is a drag, depriving them of an hour of tranquil morning light. But for others, “spring forward” brings with it the promise of long, languid afternoons and warmer weather." …

I say kill it!

Au contraire.

I say we go with daylight saving time all year 'round, and double daylight saving time time in the summer.

Ditto.
Wish we could have daylight savings year round.

I hate the long, dark winter evenings–I find them depressing. I’m always relieved when DST comes around every year.

Pick either standard time or DST and just freeze it year round.

DST all the time! Today it was warm. My youngest kid had no EC’s or homework and was able to fish for almost three hours. He was so happy.

Agreeing with DST all the time. It was SO nice having daylight for an hour or so last night when I was home from work. Love it!

I hate switching from one to the other. People should make up their minds and stick with one.

I’m in the kill it camp. It’s busy tax season for me so it’s still dark thirty when I leave the office. Now it’s dark when I get up as well. Yuck!

I don’t care which but choose one and stick with it. The older I get the harder the time change is on my internal clock.

I say DST year-round. I love having the light for at least a couple of hours after work. It keeps me energized.
For me dark = sleep. I don’t want to “sleep” at 6pm.

I live in northern New England and in the dark days of winter, sunrise is around 7:20 and sunset around 4:30. I’d love it to be 5:30 even if it means driving to work in the dark.

The afternoon golfers in this family love DST.

^^^ they would here if they could play in the snow!

^If I could post a video that D sent from school, I would. She is a college golfer and they were practicing on the football field in the snow!

I love being able to drive home from work when it is still light. I hate morning dog walks in the dark.

I would just like to somehow have more hours of light every day :slight_smile:

I love daylight savings. I have night blindness. I do not drive at night. But with the additional light I can go out for walks and enjoy more of a day.

@lilmom - my younger S is on his college golf team - loves it! He’s very antsy for the snow to go away but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

I grew up in the year or so we kept DST all year long. I thought it was fab. I rode to school on my bike in near total darkness and watched the sunrise on a regular basis. I loved it. I still had daylight after school which was the best. There was always active outdoor time after school before dark.

DST can’t keep the snow away. Sorry.
