When daylight savings time ends...

do you complain? I think I'm the only person I know who hates daylight savings time. It seems that everyone wants that extra hour of sunlight in the evenings, but I'd much rather have the sun when I get up in the morning. I HATE getting up when it's pitch black, and I'm looking forward to next Sunday when the sun will once again be up when I leave for work. How about you?
 

Makes no difference to me. When you have to be at work at 3 am, it's dark when you get up, and when you got to bed at 7pm it's dark when you go to bed.

Fall back. I'll like the extra hour next weekend.
I can go either way with the time change but I must admit the "fall back" extra hour knocks off my internal clock way worse that the "spring forward" losing an hour does. Not looking forward to wanting to go to bed at 9:00 pm and get up at 4:00 am for the next week or two...
 
I'm looking forward to it this year because I have a teenager who has trouble getting up in the mornings! The time change will align things a little better to his circadian rhythm, and I won't be driving him to school in the dark. (I still think high school should start later, but that's a whole thread of it's own.)

Personally, I'd like to set the time halfway in between and never change it again! I have trouble adjusting every year - both spring and fall (and especially meal times) - plus, the cats have no idea what's going on. :cat::cat:

I definitely love my sunshine, but I'm a total morning person, so I actually find it easier to get up in the dark than to stay up late.

Time changes don't affect me. I prefer the early darkness in the evening and that extra hour next weekend will be awesome.
 
And, technically, it is not saving any daylight. It is just shifting daylight.


So let's start a movement to call it "daylight shifting time". We can even keep the DST designation. ;)

My friend will be in Disney when she gains an hour. Gaining an hour of vacation time sounds like a great plan.
 
I just wished they would leave it one time all year. Like Hawaii and I think Arizona

Wish the rest of the USA had sense on this like in Arizona and Hawaii.

Indiana used to not change the clocks, but the idiot then-Governor Daniels decided we needed it. Then the powers that be decided we needed to be on Eastern time rather than Central, even though we are a lot closer to Chicago and the middle of the country than we are to New York and Washington, DC.
 
I like DST, but it's just too darn long. Maybe have it from mid-May to early October.
 
Saskatchewan doesn't switch either..

Me, I'm just looking forward to the extra hour sleep next weekend. I don't care about the 'extra' daylight. It's dark when I get up and is getting dark again around 430...
 
During the energy crisis of the early 1970's the country tried year-round daylight slavings time. I didn't live in AZ at the time, so I had to get up before dawn in the winter, using extra heat/electricity getting ready for school/work. Not very energy efficient.
