I feel they should leave the time either one way or the other, pick one and let it stay that way.

I don't care to much for this time change, it's dark to early in the evening!

Utah may be voting soon on whether or not to keep the time change.  It seems like a lot of people dislike it.  I'm a little bit neutral about it.  I can adapt either way.

no difference to me

The 2 weeks before and after are the hardest for me.  It would be nice if the kept it one way or the other.

Quick quiz, what parts of the world do not HAVE day lights savings time switches?! LOL! There are a few places and 2 states in the United states, parts of Canada and Central America. Hee hee! Not sure if Europe or any other country do this or not.
I didn't have to change my clocks!!

I believe that they should just leave time the wy the Lord intended it to be. It makes no sense switching time around two times a year.

Wow! Do you really only get 4 hours of sleep? That doesn't seem much at all. I always try to get my eight hours of sleep per night and mostly, I achieve this. If I don't get enough sleep I feel like I'm drifting through the day with jet lag! I can't concentrate, I can't focus, it takes me twice as long to do things. But thankfully, for 98% of the time I sleep very well. If I am stressed about something which I can't get off my mind, that'll be the time when I can't sleep. Well that and when my dog wakes me up in the night time to ask if he can go out to the bathroom.

Man developed the way that we tell time.

I wish they would just stick to one time. I'm in Colorado and it starts to get dark here at 4:30. I'm enjoying the extra hour of sleep but I hate how it gets dark so early.

[ktheodos]

Yay for the time change! An extra hour!

The time change is not a big deal for me.

Although I agree generally with this and the early onset of darkness, I am going to see the silver lining (for ME anyway) that the early morning isn't quite as dark.


I walk my daughter to school in the mornings at 7:00ish.  In October it is often still pitch black dark or just starting to lighten up when we leave the house and we have two major streets to cross between home and school.  The first one isn't bad, but cars do drive fast since it is a main thoroughfare. The second street closer to the school has a lot of vehicle and school bus traffic and many cars making right turns on the red light -- driving their kids to school (or high school kids driving themselves to school). It is not *close enough* to the school to warrant one of those "No Turn on Red - during restricted school hours" deals, so that intersection can be downright dangerous to cross in the dark in a morning rush hour.


It is amazing how much safer I feel crossing that intersection now an hour *later* by sunlight's standards.  All of that said, it DOES feel like a downer leaving work when the sun is already disappearing from the sky - I agree.
