Same number of hours of daylight no matter what. & this is not the place where you are going to find ANY scientifically acceptable polls.

Nor Hawai'i. One more reason I should move back there.

If you can choose when to hike or work, why do you need the clock to tell you when to do it?

@Carin I work ..and hike

...and not a way of saving energy by not burning power to light streets or homes ..when a simple ‘time shift’ could do it for free..? I’d heard it stemmed from power savings during WW2..

@Varn , google it

@nogod “Those in favor pointed to increased daylight hours in the summer evening: more time for recreation, reduced lighting and heating demands, reduced crime, and reduced automobile accidents. The opposition was concerned about children leaving for school in the dark.”

...as I suspected.. Apparently, little has changed ~

@Varn that was in the 70s, l believe, l remember going school in the pitch black of night.

@Varn Turns out car accidents increase after they change the time, as people may be sleep deprived or just "out of sorts."

@Carin I’ll assume a few more prior to everyone acclimating to ‘the new time.’ Afterwards, with additional light into the evening ...I suspect that’s where the fewer accidents occur.. For months. Are you groping

@nogod “l remember going school in the pitch black of night.” Not me, and I walked. It was dimmer, cooler, but the Robin’s were up! The smell of fresh cut grass ..occasionally a little dew. No big deal, even for kids..

Otherwise, what.. Sleeping through hours of daylight in order to have it consistently dark by 8:30? The responses around here have shocked me.. Are we adults?

I was/ am in tune with nature, not commuting by a metro tube to work under artificial lights. Have some become so far removed from sunlight they no longer appreciate it? Because they’ve not impressed me as folks willing to wake at four AM to get the most out of it..

@Varn The study I read about was quite some time ago & I don't recall if they even addressed what happened after the adjustment period.

I don't need to "grope"--I'm entitled to be against DTS, as are all the other people here, for no other reason than it is annoying & unsettling. It seems like a LOT more people dislike it intensely than like it, not only on this website but among friends, acquaintances & co-workers. I brought it up here because our members seem to generally be more intelligent (on average) than in any group I belong to. & I value the opinions of smart people.

@Carin I’d suspect, with people’s rhythms off some, there’d be some initial problems on the road. Any more, and the fact I’ve done it all my life, I’ll prepare for the Spring shift, as that’s the only part (temporarily) depriving us of sleep. Get up a bit sooner on both the Sat. & Sundays … in preparation for Monday.. Fall’s the pay off - an additional hour of sleep! ...and everyone likes that

Not sure if ‘you’re the one’ having asked this before; whoever that was seemed to have an angry agenda. What I’m getting ..is an intellectual laziness along with a childish reluctance aimed at ‘the hardest time’ of the transition … Spring forward. No, it’s not fun ..but it can be exciting, especially with all that extra time to safely be outside in the evenings.

Much stems from the attitude of the person posting the question, or in this case, ‘Poll.’ So obviously, you’ve an agenda. The scattered intellect of this group keeps me coming back, too, with a it’s sprinkling of ornery, childish and defiant attitude

@Varn I'm blocking you for being an A-hole. Calling other people childish when you have the manners of a kindergartener at best--if your need to feel superior is having you stoop to calling people lazy, childish, ornery, defiant, & whatever else, you need to work on yourself. You come across as an insecure jerk who thinks he's a lot more "intellectual" than he really is.
