I absolutely despise falling back to standard time and post about it every year. It's 6:00 PM. It feels like it's time for bed.

@gidgetgh THe more light I have in the day the more I accomplish and the better I feel.  These short dark days just make me want to curl up and mope.

I can get groceries just fine at 6 p.m. but when it's dark at 5 p.m., yeah not so much.  Gotta get it done at noon it seems.  Rush rush.  And what's to love about being in the house in the dark for hours and hours?

@Sooner 

now i am just the opposite of this.....

i get way more done in the darker hours.

it is more quiet, peaceful, and less hectic.

i dont feel rushed to get things done or to deal with traffic or to be interrupted.

everyone is in their own little world doing their evening activities.

i also like that it costs me less to run my appliances during this time of the year.

i also like to howl at the moon. LOL

i am definitely all for standard time year round.

@sunshine45 I am a night owl and love to stay up past midnight.  But I need all the daylight I can get during the daytime for my chores, trips, and mental health--I love the sun.  And I don't like to be out at night now in today's world.  

Bottom line, about 6 hours of sleep is fine for me--maybe 7 on occasion.  But give me all the light I can get!!!

That's kind of ironic given your nickname! 😄

I prefer Daylight Savings Time. Lots of friends in the Caribbean and when we fall back they are one hour ahead of us.

Every year I send out a warning not to call me before 11am their time (which is 10am my time) otherwise I will block them. So far so good.

Where I am here in Ga, at 5:30pm it's very dark and it seems as if everyone is trying to get home at the same time. I just changed out my outside bulbs to dusk to dawn and by 5:15pm they come on.

Why I love Standard Time.

Less Sun while I'm awake = less Heat.

Less Sun while I'm awake = a more cozy  ambience feeling in our home

Less Sun while I'm awake = cool weather clothing in Rich jeweled tones and dramatic makeup

I wish less sun meant mountains of snow but unfortunately it just simply means milder temperatures.

I wish we would stay at DST.   I get up at 4 for work which I usually wake up about 10-15 minutes before my alarm goes off and this week I've woken up at 2:45.   Not a fan of standard time.

I've never heard of a reasonable answer as to why we keep doing this ******. The voters out here voted to end this twice a year stupid ritual but noting has been done about it.
