Yes. Daylight savings time is obsolete

Post by: JaniceSW on March 05, 2020, 07:51:58 am: I am more than ready for Daylight Savings Time to be abandoned. I don't know anyone who likes it. Just as I am becoming used to the changes in the morning and in the evening, then comes Daylight Savings messing with it. Most of the people I am familiar with say their sleep and how they feel is messed with for about a week afterwards. All from that tiny little hour...

Everything changes when this is in effect, every time I call someone on these time zones, I have to remember to check the time!

Here on FC, since it's based in California, it's 1 hour more till we can use the site for the next day.. now multiply that across the US and you see the confusion.

Title: Re: Daylight Saving Time 2020
Post by: tjshorty on March 06, 2020, 12:53:25 pm: I don't know why we still do this. One time years ago I had a clock in the dinning room and one in the living room set an hour apart. Didn't change a clock for 2 years just the one I looked at for the time.
Title: Re: Daylight Saving Time 2020
Post by: aflyingmonkey on March 06, 2020, 12:57:42 pm: I love Daylight savings time when it is implemented as we gain another hour of sunlight in the pm & that is fantastic to get things done - I don't like "losing" the hour though. I don't like when they turn off daylight savings after Halloween & it starts to get dark so early. We voted to keep daylight savings & not change it here in California, I believe the vote went through, I don't know what happened with that... typical California tho, voters vote bills in & the politicians & courts deny them. :/

Title: Re: Daylight Saving Time 2020
Post by: dsosnowski06 on March 07, 2020, 11:49:19 am: Already set the bedroom clocks ahead will do the kitchen before I go to bed. Like the longer amount of daylight as I don't turn on lights until much later in the evening and saves electricity.
Title: Re: Daylight Saving Time 2020
Post by: sfreeman8 on March 07, 2020, 12:15:58 pm: Anyone who wants to eliminate DST doesn't realize that daylight would take place a 4:30 in the morning. i definitely don't want to wake up at 5-6 a.m. in the morning. I love DST because it gets daylight at 5:30 in the morning and more daylight time at night to do things. They can eliminate the time we're on now because in mid-winter, it's still dark at 7 a.m. and gets dark at 4-4:30 p.m. Can't get anything done in those hours.

Post by: claudegrizzle on March 08, 2020, 08:54:07 pm: I don’t happen to like daylight savings time either. I wish that we didn’t have to worry about changing the clocks like this twice a year. Oh well, I set it up early this year. Thankfully my smartphone always keeps the correct time and sets itself automatically, unlike all the other clocks in my house that I have to set manually.

Post by: jkhanson on March 09, 2020, 02:39:33 pm: While I don't like losing the hour of sleep on the day DST begins, I do enjoy the extra light at the end of the day . I work 7a-7p shifts so having daylight left at the end of the day is a big bonus for me especially in the summer when it is warm outside.
I adapt fairly quickly to the time change so it doesn't really bother me like it does some folks.

I agree with you. I love longer light in the evenings so my hubby and I can walk or exercise after he gets home from work.

I don't get that at all. People say it messes them up for weeks and weeks. How do you travel? When you go to a state with a different time zone how do you function? How do you ever get over it? I think it is just one more thing for people to complain about. I do agree I wish they would leave it alone. One way or the other. But it is not a big deal. Besides that you get an extra hour of sleep time.

Again TellWut hits the nail!

survey question:
Experts say "falling back" may feel a little different this year as the COVID-19 pandemic has upended our usual schedules. Some professors predict the time-warping nature of the crisis could ease the adjustment, while a permanent-time proponent says the one-hour shift will compound the discombobulation of life under lockdown. Did you find this daylight savings time easier to adjust to than usual?
