I thought I'd sleep in. 'Forgot about daylight savings time... Almost half the day is gone! It's 11:29am!

It takes me at least a week before I can appreciate that side of it. I like the effect, hate the fact that we lost the hour of sleep today.
I really hope this is the last time I need to do this. Our state legislature passed a "year-round day light savings time" bill last year, hopefully the US congress will get off their duffs and let us actually do it. |

One advantage to being retired. I didn't lose any sleep, I just woke up later.

I rather loathe it for that reason. Getting up an hour earlier, 6 mos out of the year is tedious. Hitch |

Basically we need to get in tune with each other, as there’s a series of cascading conditions in effect. New Hampshire is waiting on Massachusetts, Maine is waiting on NH. Connecticut, for obvious reasons, would presumably opt out. I think the real objection is that sunrise would be awfully late early in January; the kids waiting for buses argument. Quote:

Standard Time and Daylight Time are not reciprocal. Daylight Time is nearly twice as long. Your six month figure is way out, no matter whether you choose to focus on earlier or later. Last edited by issybird; 03-09-2020 at 09:42 AM. |

It would be fine with me if we could have year-round daylight savings. Some of my IRL acquantainces say they don't even care if we have daylight savings or standard time, they wish we could just pick one and stick with it. |

This. It's been fairly well proven that the switching is unhealthy. The original reasons behind the switching have also been proven to be unsound.

It had just started being light when I normally get up and now it's back to being dark again
![]() Honestly the advantage of daylight savings time where I live feels fairly minimal, the sun wasn't setting until 6:30 before the time change (we don't follow the *correct* time zone) and by the middle of summer we will be going to bed before full dark and waking up in the light anyways. |

And there was always the possibility which it seems you didn’t consider that I was right at that. But since I knew I was right all along, I’m no happier than I was. You’ve been saved from making a similar incorrect comment in the future and foolishly correcting others who got it right, so perhaps you’re the happy one of us? |
