Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
You already root for snow in the winter, now you want Alaska darkness too? You must have one heck of a Vitamin D lamp.
If we went with just one I'd want longer days and darker mornings myself.
My complaint is winter, regardless of how we score it on a clock. Days are just too short, but nothing we can do about it.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
For 3 years I lived in Puerto Rico, which was on year-round Atlantic Time. So for half the year we were 1 hour ahead of ET and half the year were the same time. It was weird, but we didn't have the body clock issues.

We're getting ready to repeat a mistake we make this time every year.

Don’t we like it in the fall because we get an extra hour of sleep?

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
I hate losing the hour of light at night, but I'm not in love with waking up in the dark either.
Can we just work with NASA to stop the wobble and leave the Northern Hemisphere in permanent tilt to the sun? That would seem to satisfy everyone.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
There's a solution to waking up in the dark. Roll over. I highly recommend it.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
It is more exaggerated in the north. I’d guess here above 45th parallel it’s likely 45 minutes different from Kentucky. But I like DST. If we were to lose it, I’d prefer to stay an hour ahead.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
I would prefer the fall back occurred on Sunday nights instead of Saturdays so I would get that extra hour on Monday morning. I don’t really need it on Sunday morning. They can keep the spring forward on Saturdays.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
How does one get this extra hour of sleep? I wake up and the clock says it is an hour earlier now.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
To give you an idea of what year-round time would look like, I'm taking Danville, KY (geographic center of KY):
Year-round Standard Time:
Longest day (June 21): Sunrise 5:16, Sunset 8:05
Shortest day (December 21): Sunrise 7:48, Sunset 5:25
Year round DST:
Longest day (June 21): Sunrise 6:16, Sunset 9:05
Shortest day (December 21): Sunrise 8:48, Sunset 6:25Last edited by KSRBEvans; 11-04-2022 at 12:48 PM.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
Switching time make the most sense. The planet wobbles. Humans trying to force a linear model on a planet that is not linear doesn't make much sense to me.
Until we started trying to keep track of "time" humans automatically adjusted their internal clocks to that wobble. Why would we ignore it now? it doesn't suit us as well biologically IMO.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
Me too. I really don't get the opposition to how we do it. It is much more in tune with the movement of the planet, and losing or gaining one hour once per year each seems a small price to keep our basic life schedule at least somewhat more in tune with the planet.
I get that it's dark really early in the winter, but that's not the fault of a clock. We just have less daylight at that point and if we stretch to keep more after work it means we're all going to work before the sun comes up. I don't care for that plan.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
If it were not so nasty, bug infested, and hot, I would move to the equator and have a 12 and 12 hour light and dark experience.
About 25 or 30 years ago, my wife and I got a call one night in December about 7:00 one evening. Wife answered the phone and it was a call from her younger sister who was a nurse in the army at that time. She was stationed in Nome Alaska. After about a 10 minute conversation my wife motioned to me then handed me the phone and I spent the next 30 to 45 minutes talking her sister down off the ledge. She was absolutely having a nervous breakdown from all the 24 hour per day darkness and dealing with roaming polar bears in the blinding snow and darkness. We talked a few more times that winter before the sun reappeared and she put in for a transfer and wound up in Washington State. She said that was a bit better but it was cloudy and dreary a lot. She had gone into the service intending to make it a 20 year career, but at the end of 4 years she had had enough of the nomads life and got out and came home.seeya

Re: I hate Daylight Savings Time
Here we go again....
I've almost come full circle on this. I used to be for permanent DST, then I didn't really care as long as it's permanent something. Now I think I'm for permanent standard time.
Regardless, I don't think anything's going to change anytime soon.Last edited by KSRBEvans; 03-10-2023 at 12:41 PM.

Yep, it’s that time again, except now we have to payback the hour we got last fall.
I don’t care what they do with the time, for me it’s only inconvenient for a day or two.

I hate Daylight Savings Time
Normally it's not a big deal to me. But I'm on Eastern Time for a few days, and I normally am on Central time in birmingham. Why that matters is because I am making airport runs to take my son in the morning at 8:00 a.m., which is really 7:00 a.m. Central time, which is really 6:00 a.m. the day before time because of it. That's bad enough, but my daughter's flight leaves Monday at 6:00 a.m. She will want to be at the airport at 4:30 a.m. I'm not going to even try to do the math on that one.
