Your feeling on time change (Spring and Fall) - Page 6

I can't wait for having some longer days and more sunshine. I wish we could stay on DST and not change to the dreary, dark by 5:30 pm days in the fall. I don't like driving in the dark, so I can get to the grocery store later and get home before dark. Woohoo!

I absolutely HATE IT! Leave it on Standard time year round! Even being retired now. It still screws up my sleep at every unnecessary change!

When it turns dark it feels like a blanket envelopes around me. It feels cozy. Hard to explain unless someone else feels the same.

I know exactly how you feel. It's dark outside, dim lights on the inside. Everyone is home and all is well with my world. It's cozy and comfortable and I feel safe.

or Las Vegas is pretty bright all night, too!

Those are my kind of over the top, glitzy lights!

I like the time changes! And I look forward to them because it is a sign of the upcoming season and things to look forward to!

I think it started way back to give the farmers more daylight time.

I hate having to turn the lights on at 3:00 p.m. in winter, and I love having daylight until after dinner time in the summer.

My grandmother and my mom always said this to me as long as I can remember:

In winter I get up at night and dress by yellow candlelight.

In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day!

In MI, we've done this for years. It's not a big deal, but people make it seem like it is. I feel a little like jet-lagged for a day, then back to normal.

I much prefer maintaining Standard Time permanently.
Medical evidence supports Standard time over DST with evidence that the body's circadian rythm is put out of whack by DST and that there are more negative implications on health with DST.

It stays light longer in the summer naturally even on Standard time. It just doesn't stay light until 9 p.m.!

For fans of all that light you could get a condo in Alaska where it stays daylight for 6 whole months!

I agree with this and everyone that likes the Standard time! I feel so much better when the sun goes down earlier! My body never gets used to the DST!
