Daylight Saving Time

[Dan Murphy]

Don't forget to set your clocks one hour ahead tonight or tomorrow morning. Except for the folks in Arizona and Hawaii.

Woo Hoo, Arizona here so no changing clocks for me.
I try to remember that little benefit when summer temps hit.
Trade offs and all.

Great reminder for most folks!

Was awake and watched the computer jump an hour and now I feel even more tired.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Nah. The two manual clocks, I never change (okay, except after a power outage). I leave them on EST and adjust my thinking

Why are Hawaii and Arizona different?

I am hoping Oregon will soon join that list. They are trying to get it on our November ballot. Really hate the time change.

They do not change their clocks in fall or spring as the other states do. State legislation/voter determination. CA bid to stay the same time all year failed. I can't remember if the vote failed or if it failed to make it to the ballot

Arizona doesn't need more daylight hours during the summer.

I had to walk my dogs in the dark, this morning. Thanks, "Daylight Saving" time. Saving... saving what? Not saving my sanity, that's for sure.

Illinois is considering 12 month DST also. I think it passed the house here.

And good morning, everyone!

 

[sam_gordon]

Kentucky is also. I really hope it passes.

I generally dislike switching back and forth, but spring is easier than fall for me. I feel like my natural circadian rhythms fit DST better than EST.

If not for circadian rhythm I wouldn't have any rhythm at all! The time change draws a lot of ire from some folks, I'm lucky that it doesn't affect me at all. I do enjoy that it stays light later in the evening. Easier to grill out when it's lighter & warmer.

This ! Finally was getting used to driving the kids to school with some light in the morning and now this !

 

[SaintsManiac]

Slept until 9am...or did I???

Because they are smart!

We can really do away with DST imho. I miss living in AZ for many reasons, but that is one.

It was on the ballot and PASSED. But it only allowed California to stay one or the other IF the federal government passed legislation allowing states to decide. Or something like that.

 

[kimblebee]

Saskatchewan is another place that doesn’t change. I woke up and was fine until I remembered I was up an hour earlier than I wanted to be..now I feel super tired lol

What was on the ballot was for California to go on Daylight savings time permanently. States are not allowed by the federal government to go on Daylight Savings time permanently. They are allowed to go on Standard time permanently.

Personally, I think we all should just remain on standard time.
