What Do You Think of Daylight Saving Time?

[Cbsteffen]

I think DST is stupid. I started to hate it even more when Congress made it 4 weeks longer. Here's why I can't stand Daylight Saving Time:

1. It doesn't save energy.
2. It gives an unfair advantage to anyone who stays up late.
3. It screws up length of days. Every day should be 24 hours long. We don't need a 23-hour day to begin DST and then a 25-hour day to make up.
4. It steals an hour of sleep from people that should never be stolen.
5. Anybody who forgets to set his or her clock(s) ahead for DST and has a job on Sunday could wind up being 1 hour late for work.

Now tell me your opinion and explain why.

    Well, what can I say? I love it! Where I live, it works for me.

The govt needs to leave time alone and let time take its course.

[sgluckadoo]

I am not a fan of time changing throughout the year. It throws me off and required adjustment. It is totally unnecessary in my opinion, and should be ended.

I have no problem with your logic, lol.

I absolutely agree with everything you said. No need for me to add anything...Fall Back is stupid as well.

[miltonarmitage]

I agree, leave the clocks alone! It's going to get light earlier during spring and summer and darker for fall and winter anyway with out playing stupid games with the clock. Now if we could turn the clocks back before our idiotic government was around to foul things up, I'd be all for that!

Please do tell what advantage people who stay up late get with an extra hour of sunlight at night? Now explain how this unfair.
Unfair advantage

[adriarobi]

Yeah, it makes the summer days too long, hard to sleep. Leave time alone.

I am wiped out from a very long fun day with an old friend. I am glad it is dark, and going to bed early.

Unfair advantage

The hour of daylight added to the night is the same hour of daylight taken away from the morning, and that forces early risers to have to wake up to a darker sky and possibly feel cranky as well. People I know of who like or love DST do not respect people who have to wake up early.

I like it when I spring forward. I have never liked when it gets dark early.

Not seeing how that translates to an advantage. I'm an early riser and like DST.  I'd much rather have that extra hour of sunlight be in the evening when I'm not at work and can enjoy it. 

[pressman]

not sure what the purpose is but I like if it would goback to April

[luvh8tragedy87]

I don't like DST either. I like this time we're setting the clocks but not during the fall. It's pretty ridiculous. John Oliver did a segment on DST on Last Week Tonight that I thought was interesting. It's probably up on youtube if anyone wants to watch it.

You're talking silly. You should enjoy daylight while at work so you don't think about stress and then unwind when it's darker.
