Your feeling on time change (Spring and Fall)

mormel20 — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 13:35:48 GMT

Well, it is near that time of year again. When we "spring forward" in time. My personal feelings are that I wish the times changes would stop. I don't care if they pick Standard or Daylight Savings, but I wish they would pick one and leave it all year. What do you feel? (Not that how we feel will make the slightest difference).

Bring on the spring forward time change. I can't wait.

I seem to never get used to the fall change.

I feel the same, pick a time and stay with it for Pete's sake!

I'm tired of changing clocks twice a year. I love DST and hope it will stay like that. I like it getting dark later in the evening whether it's winter or summer.

Also, clocks don't like being turned back and forth twice a year. My most expensive clocks no longer work because of this practice. Repair is not an option as it's really expensive.

I don't like it. I would rather they leave it at DST, but whatever, just leave it alone!!

I very much disliked the Spring time change for most of my life. I retired a few years ago. I worked full time since I was a teenager. The last 20 years of my career before retirement, I was out of the house 13 hours a day on weekdays. So that loss of one hour from moving the clock forward made me so depressed, losing one hour of my precious free time. Also didn't like that there I was trying to go to sleep early to wake up early, with most folks up and out enjoying the longer days. Now I don't care about it as much, but when I think about for too long, it brings back a little feeling of sadness.

I believe Arizona is the same all year. Not sure why every state can't do it.

I do like when we spring forward because I enjoy more daylight. I hate when it is dark before 5pm

I hate going thru the time change. Both of them make my internal clock seriously out of whack. I just want them to pick a time - I don't care which one - and stick with it.

I wish the time change would stop.

If I had the authority to choose I would pick standard time because I get up early and I hate that it seems like hours before it becomes day!

I know most people like the long daytime hours in the spring and summer but I don't. I think enough already-the day has been long enough!

Still, like most feel now just keep the same time all year. I don't think anyone likes the time changes 2 times a year that aren't needed anymore.

I prefer Standard but more than anything I just want the madness to stop.

I like the dark so I wll just start dreaming of November.

I don't have an issue with changing the clocks twice a year.

I prefer Standard in the fall and winter too.

If I had to choose one, Standard would be the one.

Like most others, I wish they'd pick a time and leave it. It comes up every once in a while in my state legislature (Missouri), but then it never seems to go anywhere. Meanwhile, they pass all these laws that affect few and that no one cares about. How about passing a law that affects everyone and that the majority support? Won't be done, because it makes too much sense.

If I could pick one, I'd pick Standard Time. I go to bed early and get up early.

But I'd be happy either way if they would just pick one and STAY there!
