I hate the fall time change with every fiber of my being.

Not being a fan of winter, at all, the getting dark in seemingly mid-afternoon (ok, so I exaggerate... a little)  is just too much. 

The initial time change itself does me no good. I don't sleep well so the extra hour that first night is lost on me.  Just one more hour for me to be awake in the middle of the night.

@monicakm  NOOOO....I hate when DST ends.  Here in AZ our clocks never change (which is one reason I moved here 34 years ago) BUT, my family lives in CA so I always have to deal with time differences that I don't have to deal with during DST when our times are the same.

Me Me!!!

I can't wait for fall and Standard time. I love when the darkness comes earlier. So cozy!

the time change here in Florida is so weird to me. Back in Michigan it made more sense-the weather corresponded with the end of daylight saving time. Here, it continues to be hot and sunny like summer all year round. But it gets dark at 5:30 pm. My brain has trouble grasping that.

I agree with most of the other posters! I do not like cold, dreary days. I do not like turning on the lights at 3 p.m. I do not like getting up in the dark when it's cold in the bathroom. 

I love summer and the whole lifestyle associated with it. I love being able to be outside at 9 and still see daylight. I do like the change of seasons to see the different colors, but I will take an extended summer any time!

Absolutely hate it. I jog every evening after work but when the time changes, it gets dark before I even leave the office.

@santorini   YES!  When I do run outside, I also go right after work.  I just change in my office and run around the campus.  However, when it gets dark I typically don't.  I hate it too, but that's when I will hit the Peloton tred.  Change of pace!  But cool weather stinks.

I'd love it if we stayed on DST all year around.  I hate when it gets dark at 5pm.  It's depressing and makes the nights seem so long.

Since I no longer drive after dark, it means I can't even get fast food in the evenings.  I'm a prisoner in my own home.

Not me.  In New York, in late November and early December, it gets dark at 4O PM.  I can't go anywhere as I do not drive in the dark anymore.  It is very depressing for me and really wish we had daylight savings time all year round.

Yes! I’m a creature of the night.
