It's time to change the frikken clocks.

[Vida May]

Yeah, why should the world cater to those damned farmers and much-reviled children going to school in the mornings during non-Winter months? Or cut down on power usage for lighting?

Our privileges are at stake here!

Even the Romans were bright enough to do an equivalent thing about the time.

Get that rectal insect infestation cleared up, then buy yourself a watch supporting two time zones or something. Sheesh!

I loathe the fall back time. In the US there were rumors for years that they were planning to drop it. Then silence. Grrr.

 

[RedAlert76]

I wish They would do one or the other,then leave it alone and don't take a. years to make up their mind as to which way is best!

Agree. I believe 2020 was to be the year they were going to get rid of the fall back to standard time. Too many disruptions that year.

We live with Daylight Saving Time almost 8 months per year and it’s fine.

Oh, they made up their minds decades ago. The powers that be like the annual change system.

 

[MarkinPhx]

Here is my twice a year comment about this. I wish you all would decide one way or another and stay with that time. It is a pain for those of us in Arizona to keep track ! Ok, rant over. I'll rant again in November

Where I live, on March 20,2025, if using DST, there will be 11 hours and 29 minutes of sunlight., Now with Standard time, there will be 11 hours and 29 minutes of sunlight. It's obvious how much more daylight we get by switching times twice a year. The cost savings are enormous

 

[dusty]

In my home there is only one clock and it is on the nightstand. I never change the settings, ever. When fall comes and we 'fall back' I just look at the clock and subtract an hour. When spring comes and we 'spring ahead' all is well. No anger, no pain, ... just zen

 

[Ruthanne]

I never feel any different after the clocks change. Probably because I sleep a lot most days.

 

[MaddHollander]

Daylight savings always confused me but I was on time at work once a year.

 

[HermitHogan]

If we didn't have daylight savings time, sunrise would be around 5:30 AM in the summer. Who wants that? 6:30 AM is much better. And then we have more daylight in the evening to go out and do stuff.

 

[Lavinia]

Hollydolly and her Brits did this a week ago. It's time to change the frikken clocks. There is no real scientific data that this does anything but irritate people. The best data says MAYBE there's a third of 1 percent savings, but that depends on location. Now, for the next week, I'll feel lousy, miserable, out of sorts. It's like calling Monday, "Sunday", so you'll have three days off, but you still have to go to work on the second "Sunday".
There are bills in the US & UK to abolish DST, with overwhelming approval, but haven't enacted them. Australia has repealed it, and OZ hasn't yet fallen into the sea.
I hate this changing time thing.

Correction...our clocks are changed at the end of this month.

 

[spectratg]

The human animal and the rest of nature evolved in consonance with the movement of the sun across the seasons. On standard time, the sun is directly overhead at 12 noon. And that's the way it should be. DST is an aberration that throws are natural body rhythms for a loop!

 

[Michael Z]

If you have scheduled daytime events, DST gives you more daylight in the evening, which is nice. For me that is after church and after my Tuesday bible study.

Otherwise, it has no effect on a retired person other than requiring an adjustment on your sleep schedule.

 

[Rae]

Setting my watch which is complicated is a nuisance to me. Also the sleep routine takes getting used to and wish they would leave the time alone for whatever is decided to keep.

 

[JustBonee]

Just getting numb to time change anymore.
For a couple days it feels strange, then it all settles into routine again.

 

[Pepper]

I can hardly wait! More sun!

 

[Happyflowerlady]

I am looking forward to DST again also ! Even though I still get up and go to bed when ever it feels right to me, I still look forward to the longer daylight in the afternoons, and do not mind sleeping through extra darkness in the mornings.
We do have a bill for the time to be permanent in congress, and i doubt that it would pass soon enough to make a difference this spring; but it could be passed before we change back this fall.
People writing about it on X seem to be fairly evenly divided between whether they think we should keep DST or standard time, and I would be fine with either choice, if we just did not have to change all the time.

 

[Manatee]

Nothing changes here, Arizona of course. Markets open an hour later at 7:30 though, which I like.

The Navajos do their own thing.

Spring forward! Fall back. Half of our clocks reset on their own.

 

[debodun]

I have 11 devices to reset - wristwatch, 4 wall clocks, car, stove, 4 desktop clocks.
