Daylight Savings Time-Fall of 2015

[Cbsteffen]

Daylight Saving Time is worthless. Anybody can forget to set his or her clock ahead or back and wind up being an hour late after DST starts or an hour early after DST ends. What's the real meaning of DST (Daylight Saving Time)? It means taking an hour of daylight away from the morning just to add that hour to the evening and not making every day of the year equal in length (23.93 hours to be rather exact). With DST, time itself doesn't balance out properly.

Hate it !!!  Why do we have to change this.  I hate when it starts getting dark at 6pm  its a waste of time.  The kids have to start staying in the house,  and can't run out their energy.   They are miserable and so am I !!!!

The time changes has really never bothered me.  It's mostly a frame of mind to feel you are losing or gaining an hour.

I plum forgot to reset the clocks this morning. Imagine my surprise when I found out (and I had an extra hour to sleep in). Was so excited for that, LOL.

Live with it. You have no control over the amount of daylight during the day. In order to make it get dark later, you have to delay daylight. Daylight Saving Time just throws anyone off with time. It's easy to forget to set a clock ahead or back. If we didn't have to do that, we would never get confused about time. Prevention is better than cure.

Actually, 23.93 hrs is the length of time it takes the earth to complete one rotation on its axis, which is not the same as the length of one day. We use Solar Days, which factors in not only the rotation of earth, but the rotation of the earth around the sun. A solar day is 24 hours +/- a few seconds.

In other words, there is nothing for DST to "balance."

I love it in the morning, but not in evening.  It get dark before I get home from work.

I like it....I'm here in Tampa, Florida -

I am in the MidWest, and now that we have changed the clocks, at 4:00 p.m., it is so noticeably darker.

Being night blind, have to be home earlier.

We had a royals game, then a early morning chiefs game, then the last royals game and the time change messed me up because by giving me an extra hour I fell asleep right before the chiefs game started and missed it all.
